MarketDescription type

[shuba]

MarketDescription type has two definitions below

persistenceEnabled - If 'true' the market supports 'Keep' bets if the market is to be turned in-play
turnInPlayEnabled - If 'true' the market is set to turn in-play

For my understanding both fields will be always true or both fields will be always false.
Am I wrong or one of them is redundant?

I've not heard of marketDescriptionType and can't find it in the documentation. Could you tell me where to locate what you found about it? Then I'll see if I can be any help.

MarketDescription is a field in marketCatogue structure returned by listMarketCatogue call

Ah, I see.

I'm inclined to agree with your interpretation that they should be the same, but it does appear to allow for the inPlay value to be true and the other to be false. It should be possible to produced a list of all markets to check whether any differ.

Keep bets also persist when a market is updated after a runner removal so common to see in horse racing markets.

I think you have to be careful on that interpretation shuba.
if persistenceEnabled is true then turnInPlayEnabled will always be true.
But if turnInPlayEnabled is true we can have, at least on paper, persistenceEnabled as false. I don't know if there are currently markets that go on in play and don't allow bets to be kept, but this is possible and i can see some scenarios where this would make sense.
