Cashing out?

[Hamlet6]

Is it possible to cash out a matched trade via an API-NG operation (rather than having to calculate and place a hedging bet manually), i.e. as the website does ?

There is nothing in the API-NG that will do that automatically, so you have to calculate and place the hedging bet yourself.

Thanks for confirming.Do you know if this is planned?

[betdynamics]

Sorry - no idea.

Might be best to fire an email to bdp@betfair.com and ask team directly.

Hi Hamlet6,

There are no plans to include cash out as an API service.

Kind Regards

Easier said that done. We can calculate and place a hedging bet manually, the problem is that these bets usually are under minimum stake limit. Your system do it without problem, but with the api we can't place these bets, so please, when a cash out functionality on the API?

Sorry if bumping an old post is against rules but I too would like to take advantage of the betting below minimum stakes which would essentially copy the functionality of your 'Cash Out' feature.

If it's ok.. I'll bump this too.

I know it's unlikely to happen

There is an article in our FAQ's about placing bets below the minimum stake for the purposes of greening up, etc.

See https://developer.betfair.com/exchange-api/faq/ and search for "How do I place bets below minimum £2 stake?"

Thanks

Thanks very much Neil.

Exactly the mechanism I was constructing in my head for greening up
