I was trying to close out a position I had open on the winners market for the US open. Watch this clip.

As soon as I click to close the trade by laying at 3.8 where there is obviously money available, the Back money disappears. Take out my lay bet and it returns.
At first I just thought Its a bot but then thought how can you have money in the market at the offer price that will not get matched? The strangest thing is on the Betfair site I closed out a second later and took the money that didn't want to be matched.
Any one shed any light on this??
Strange bot

Hi Linus or anyone else,
Do you have a link to explain how the BA xm action works? I read before about turning it on and off but never read up on it.
Thanks
Steve

If you have virtual bets on a malformed, i.e. not fully formed market, you just end up with junk on your screen. But on the old API Betfair didn't support virtual pricing or a clean way of knowing when it was on or not. So we simply gave people the opportunity to select it manually.

When you say "virtual bets on", do you mean xm on/off or people see demo mode bets?
Sometimes simple to some, is rocket science to us mortals!
That's really confused me! Don't take a lot though:lol:
I think what your saying is he's using practice mode?

That's OK, it's easy for me to assume too much, so that's my issue.

So if he had laid up at 6s he would be quids in as there would be no backers.
Interesting that the api didn't use to know if it was a virtual bet or not. Are you referring to an old api prior to current api in use, or prior to the launch of NG?
