Help calling placeOrders

[Arthy]

Hi all,

I think i got it all wrong to place a bet, if some can help me:

1. i get a market i want to bet on:

"market": {
    "marketId": "1.157260766",
    "marketName": "Match Odds",
    "totalMatched": 190.68,
    "runners": [
      {
        "selectionId": 2482528,
        "runnerName": "Dinamo Brest",
        "handicap": 0,
        "sortPriority": 1,
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "totalMatched": 0,
        "lastPriceTraded": 1.32
      },
      {
        "selectionId": 23514500,
        "runnerName": "FC Dnjapro-MCZ",
        "handicap": 0,
        "sortPriority": 2,
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "totalMatched": 0,
        "lastPriceTraded": 14.5
      },
      {
        "selectionId": 58805,
        "runnerName": "The Draw",
        "handicap": 0,
        "sortPriority": 3,
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "totalMatched": 0,
        "lastPriceTraded": 5.6
      }
    ],

So i want to bet £2 on the first team "Dinamo Brest"

2. i call placeOrders with these parameters:

[{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/placeOrders",
    "params": {
      "marketId": "1.157260766",
      "instructions": [
        {
          "selectionId": "2482528",
          "handicap": "0",
          "side": "LAY",
          "orderType": "LIMIT",
          "limitOrder": {
            "size": "2",
            "price": "1.32",
            "persistenceType": "LAPSE"
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    "id": 1
  }
]

Can someone confirm i am good so far ?
(because once my bet order is settled, it seems like the bet outcome is reversed: it says LOST when i win, and WIN when i loose...)

hi

It can turn my losing bets into winning bets ? I will buy it, name your price

But seriously, I had a look at that snippet, its correct Json and all your data looks sensible to me. I cant spot anything wrong with it.

You placed a LAY bet on Dinamo Brest. That's a bet that they are not going to win. If you expected them to win (as they did), you needed to place a BACK bet. (I'm assuming this was the 3-1 home win on Sunday).

That explains a lot . thanks

(The match in the example has not happened yet)
