Looks like the dates are/were off by 1 or 2 hours - it is going to be a time change in AUS. I use GMT time everywhere and been through several time change with no problem - so must be a BF problem. Anyone noticed anything?
Thanks

daylight savings time
It happens twice per year every year the day before daylight saving time stops/starts. Thankfully it only affects one day, tommorrow all will be normal again.
I have sent a message to support every time for about the last 3 years, however every time they do nothing, so I have not even bothered this time.
The frustrating thing is there is no pattern to it, you would think all the times would just be off 1 hour, but no it varies, even within the same meeting same races will be correct time, and some will be off any varying amount of time.
In the case of my application, I use the time to 'match' betfair market id's to my local database of races. In all but these 2 times per year it works automatically, however at these 2 times I just manually check my database and manually correct/add the market id's as neccessary.
I have given up on it ever being fixed.
I use the old API, I am just about to start playing with API-NG and am hoping it will give me a better way to 'match' the races, hopefully using something like meeting name or runner names (these values are not possible or not easy to obtain with the old API so that's why I ended up using the race time).
