Prevent accidental placement of in-play bets

Is there a way to make a placeOrders call fail, if I accidently place it while the market is in-play?

Hi bernardthehon.

You can achieve this using the market version parameter if your worried about the market changing from pre-play to in-play when placing bets. Please see the documentation via https://docs.developer.betfair.com/display/1smk3cen4v3lu3yomq5qye0ni/placeOrders#placeOrders-Marketversionparameter

However, there is no specific 'do not place bet in-play' flag when submitting a placeOrders request.

Thanks

Neil
