Lay odds returned which aren't available for betting?

[jscragg]

ListMarketBook returns values for AvailableToLay volumes at odds of 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and plenty of other prices that are way below the current active spread.

Is there any way to determine what price odds are actually available for laying?

[Franklin1]

That sounds very strange. Prices should not be below 1. Can you post the response JSON here?

Here's an example - a few below 1 again here:

I couldn't immediately see which item is at unusual odds there.

You are asking for explanation off odds(prices) aren't you? If you are actually asking about stakes of 0.01 then they are fine and just represent small amounts and are available in reality.

[jabe]

I searched for @0. on your JSON data and didn't find it.

The figures are amount@odds.

Many thanks!

Classic case of numpty code-blindness. I'd transposed the price and volume on the lay values.

Been staring at that for days and it just didn't register!

Thanks again.
