What are "EX_BEST_OFFERS"

[BigSprout]

Hi,
I have been of the opinion that "EX_BEST_OFFERS" was the same as the 3 offers as displayed on the web, but this thinking appears to be incorrect.

So, could someone advise what figures "EX_BEST_OFFERS" returns from the API and how are the figures shown on the BACK/LAY side on the web derived?

cheers

Remember that in most cases, the prices on the web pages includes "virtual bets" from Betfairs cross matching. You can include "virtual bets" from the API by setting

virtualize = true

in your PriceProjection.

Thanks for that jptrader,

I have added virtualise and prices now match, I am aware that the web prices are delayed so sometimes there will be discrepancies, but not to what I was seeing - it is normally the simple things that are missed that cause all the problems.

Much appreciated for your quick response.
