I am unclear on how streaming API and virtual prices are meant to be used.
A typical requirement for most Apps is that you have a ladder interface, i.e you need to get from Betfair the full market depth for a specific market.
Additionally, it makes sense to get the best prices available, I.e the virtual prices that are available.
The problem is that i can get the virtual prices (bestAvailableToBack) but as far as I can see, I can only get these to a market depth of 3
Alternatively I can get the the prices, using (availableToBack) which gives me the standard prices to full market depth but it is missing the virtual prices.
For something like a one sided tennis match, the best virtual price and the normal price differ substantially.
With the way Betfair are presenting the streaming data to me, I cant see how I can get full depth inclusive of virtual prices ?
Can Neil or anyone else explain how this can be achieved please ?
Thanks for any insights
