Market results via api.ng? non-runners?

[bnl]

Hi!
I'm almost done starting up a new type of bot
written for api-ng.
But some questions remains:

On https://api.developer.betfair.com/se.../Betting+Enums
I can see these values for RunnerStatus
Value
ACTIVE
WINNER
LOSER
REMOVED_VACANT
REMOVED

The WINNER/LOSER implies that I can get the result of a market
via api-ng ?
How would I accomplish that ?
And how long is the data saved?

Also, what happens when the runner I bet on, in a BACK bet, becomes a non-runner?
And what happens if it is a LAY bet?


thanks

Don't you understand 'WINNER' and 'LOSER' words? ;-)

BF guys told that those statuses are set shortly after market final suspend and live for a period until market is closed. That's my current understanding of the stuff, it may differ from reality though.

Well, I do.
So you mean I can issue another listMarketBook query,
after the race and get the results?
Nice. Would also be nice to know for how long
it is available

Ok, So I poll listMarketBook until market status
is SUSPENDED, and check the runners, hoping them
to have another status than ACTIVE, or else keep polling.

I'll try that. Thanks

Any comments on what happens with a bet on a non-runner?
The reason I ask is that I think (would like to think)
that it is canceled and money return.

But, where I live, it is (at least in betting over
several races) common to get a 'reserve' instead.
That is if runner 5 is a non-runner, unless you specified
a reserve yourself, the betting company assigns you a reserve
say runner 2, based on some known algorithm, like most betted.

(You can't do LAY-bets in Sweden, as far as I know)
