Incorrect game outcomes from API

[orpheuz]

we are getting many wrong game outcomes, saying win when the bet was lost. seems to be on asian handcap based bets

is there any data on how many bet outcomes we can expect to get incorrect data from Betfair API, and how it takes to get the correct outcome

Hi orpheuz,

I believe this behaviour is due to a known outstanding bug.

If you can provide a specific example of the issue I'll be able to confirm this.

Kind Regards

hi, there was many - an example would be

Bristol Rovers v MK Dons 13.Dec.2022 19:30:00
{"market"=>"Asian Handicap2(%s)", "params"=>"0.0"}
{"market"=>"Asian Handicap", "market_id"=>"1.207410472", "selection"=>"MK Dons", "selection_id"=>893582}

MK Dons lost the game 4.1 but betfair API returned a WIN for this bet

Coudl you please give details on this known bug so we can acount for it

thanks, lee

Hi Lee

Thanks for confirming.

The issue is that for Asian Handicap markets, on settlement WINNER is shown for all selections. This issue is present via the API and website. See https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plu...et/1.207410472 for example.

Therefore, if you haven't placed a bet on the market you cannot determine the settlement outcome. If you have placed a bet/s on the market you can use listClearedOrders to determine the betOutcome, using the betOutcome field which is available at BET level (see https://docs.developer.betfair.com/d...elds+Available)

Kind Regards

Neil
