MFP8 Market Locator nad Betafair Race Names
« on: 10 Nov 2014, 13:41 »
If a trigger relies on a including or excluding a race name, then MFP 8 and/or Betfair will totally confuse the trigger because :-

Firstly, MFP Market Locator no longer has "Today's Card" categories for greyhound and horses.

Secondly, in Betfair's event tree "Today's Card" for greyhound and horses, the race name description is not the same as that in Betfair's event tree for "greyhound racing" and "horse racing"

Thirdly, if one uses the MFP Market Locator, the resulting race name is different again.

In my opinion, it's more likely that it's Betfair's failings and not WellDone's. Nevertheless this is a critical problem that must be fixed.

There is no "Today's card" in the new API any more, so we create that category by ourself. Thank you for reporting - we'll take a look what can we do.

Given the turmoil going on with this dastardly new Betfair API and the many cries for "help !", I appreciate your prompt response and attention.

Hello pfc,

Unfortunately there had been changes to the new API that make it impossible to derive the exact path to a market, unlike in the previous API.
This leads to Market Locator being unable to reproduce the full market name as it is on BetFair web site. There is currently no workaround for this issue.

Ad for the missing Today's Card, you can simply choose "Horse Racing" and then limit your search to 1 day (or any other number of days of your choice).
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!
