Invalid_price

[vadocz]

Ladies and Gentlemen!

I use the API v6 to bet. I put a PlaceBet action, with correct data (Price, Size, etc) and it is with
Error message INVALID_PRICE rejected. I've found it's always about the next format of the price:

2.xx where xx is the decimal digits corresponding to the "Betfair Price Increments".

The following examples I have taken:

An idea: price 2.22 instead of 2,22

[vadocz]

Hi Peter!

I use Betfair API v6 and C# programming language. For price is used
the double type of C# as prescribed in API v6 Reference Guide.
The decimal comma or decimal point only appears in the formatted
output.

The different price other than those mentioned is accepted.
For example 1,80 1,81 ... 1,99 and 3.00 3,05 3,10 ... 4,00 4,10 4,20
and so on.

greeting L. Vadócz

Try using a Math.Round(xxx, 2) function when setting the price in the PlaceBets call.
