    Bets Being Cancelled

    Hello all.

    I have started experimenting with the betfair API. I have had some success but sometimes when I submit a bet it will show on the website as being submitted in the totally normal way (as it should) and then a very short time later (under a minute) it will cancel for no reason.

    It's nothing to do with my code as I have used the same code to place bets that didn't get cancelled and bets that did.

    Anyone had this experience and been able to solve it?

    Going InPlay cancels bets, can't think of any other reason.
    Once a bet is placed, they are all the same, it doesn't matter if it was placed manually or by api.

      Hi there, thanks for the response.

      It definitely is cancelling them seconds later and don't know why. Very strange situation.

      I phoned Betfair and they asked if I could take a screenshot of bets before they were cancelled. I've done this and will send it to them.

      Hopefully get to the bottom of this.

        Are you placing a cancel request with no instructions as this will cancel all bets in that market as per the docs
