Logs are not working properly
« on: 27 Jan 2013, 05:30 »
Hi Guys,

I'm having a number of problems with viewing the logs.

1) The account statement is not showing today's transactions.
     * Program Logs -> Account Statement  then click on the date. Today is not listed.
     * In the Program log I can see bets have been placed (confirmed in my bf account)
     * In the Program log i also see the market results entry
     * i'm betting on au races to win

2) In test mode, betting on au races for a place the races are never being closed after settlement.
     * when betting on au races for a win, its a lottery if the races are closed after settlement.
     * In live mode (test mode off), the win market is closing properly after settlement
     * In the Program log i can see the market results entry
   * i don't change anything between live/ test mode other than the mode change.

Hi
Check settings General Options > Account Statement
Either retrieve records from a given date, or not older than 0 days

Check settings > Test Mode
Either use download results from betfair, or simulated settlement (not both)

Great, thanks for the help. Point 1 sorted.

Point 2, i.e. closing the race after settlement is still not working?

Check settings > Test Mode
Under Event Results I have ticked both:
Download resuls from Betfair wherever possible and settle markets automatically
Finish a market automatically after settlement

Also on General Options i have ticked
Delete settled events automatically

is that correct?
I don't have anything ticked under Bet Settlement Simulator heading on the Test Mode page.

If however I do reverse the selection i.e. automatic settlement then my entries are cleared (but I don't get true results because of the random nature of selecting the winner)

Hi
Your settings are correct. Also check General Options > Account Statement > Retrieve bet list for AUS/NZ is checked, and Account Statement > AUS wallet is checked.

The results service and subsequent settlement in MarketFeeder in provided through rss.betfair.com
However, a quick check of betfair.com.au faq page reveals the following:
"Do you have a results service?
 
We do offer a results service. The Betfair Results Service delivers the results of non-Australian markets settled in the past 24 hours. Results are generated from the market settlement carried out 24/7 by our Market Operations team. Results are usually available within a matter of minutes of Betfair settling a market. This site can be viewed by going to rss.betfair.com.

Results of Australian horse racing can be accessed via our online Racing & results page at http://racingform.betfair.com.au/."
