Hi
I am using the Lite free version to get a handle on the workings of Horse racing on MF,I set up to lay all the races then AutoGreenup for the day in test mode , go to work come back and do my checking , for example , yesterday Sat 13Oct I looked at my statement and at the bottom it said "34 wins 0 losses"fantasic I thought I might start betting for real.but I noticed further up the statement there were a couple of anomolies , just a single pink line with my bet in it but no blue back bet to go with it , so I checked the results and indeed it had won so I should have shown a loss but instead it showed me win my £4 stake back,So I started to check all my previous statments and Lo and Behold it had happend on all my previous days betting as well ,
So the question is now am I being misguided by the software or is there a better explanation .
Could someone from WellDone let me know ?
(I dont know how to add a printout to show you)

Is it possible that the anomalies were due to horses being non-runners ? If you had placed bets with real money, Betfair would have advised you of void bets. Test mode does not allow this as Betfair have no idea of what you are doing in test mode so cannot email you.

Hi Again
Ive checked the results and all the horses actually ran and won thier respective races,but some other horses in the races were non-runners but not the ones I test bet on.
Cheers

In Settings/General Options, make sure that Delete Settled Events Automatically is enabled (and not finished events, which seems to be the default).

hi
the only way this could happen is if you have set the test mode option to RANDOM settle.
In Settings/General Options, open test mode options.
you must tick download the results from betfair and untick any other result tick boxes.
