Slow connection
« on: 13 Apr 2015, 10:24 »
Hi WellDone guys,
My market refresh rate is 0.5s and my current bets refresh is 1.5s.
How to lower these numbers? Where to get a better connection to? I understand my international internet connection is slow but I dont know where is the API located so I can get a better connection to this area.
Thanks!

Thanks for your response.
Sorry that I didnt make my question clear. I want my bets to get accepted by betfair faster. Its about dutching. Lets say Im backing all the selections when the book% is under 100. Sometimes my bets dont get matched and the reason is the communication between my client and betfair. How to make this communication faster? Im ready to buy new internet :D


(I know its the connection because I have a condition in the trigger saying:
back_amount to be greater than MyBetAmount/back_price

Thanks :)

Hi I have been dutching for years and through experience you will never get all the bets matched if you are waiting for the book to go under 100 percent especially with a fast refresh rate,and as a rule never try and do it in running, I am sure betfair have there own software doing this and they are going to be faster than anyone else.

Hi Colin :)
I never do it In-Play.
my refresh rate is 1.5 sec - not so fast. Im trying to get all my bets matched because I check if the offered amount is higher than my bet amount. It doesnt work all the time and I think my internet connection is the reason. What do you think?

the faster the connection the better, and also a decent computer with good memory helps, also try to avoid bets under the minimum as the new betfair api isn't as good as the old one and when betting under the minimum a lot of bets stay unmatched, ihave a i5 processor with 8g memory and my internet conection is 150 m, I still get unmatched bets which is a pain when dutching but I have been experimenting for 5 months to try and deal with these but haven't found an answer yet :(

Same PC here, but slower connection :/ Yot got 150mbps connection to UK and still get unmatched bets? Hmm.. What amounts are you using?

Thanks for your advices, I will let you know if I find the answer.

p.s: its a good time to chat because betfair is currently under DDoS attack and the website is unreachable and unreliable. API too.

yep betfair was the same yesterday, I use to include bets below the minimum but don't any more, I make sure allow small bets is turned off, trouble is the liquidity on betfair is getting worse in my opinion so betting opportunities are getting harder to find, don't know what you think about the liquidity now days but is nowhere near as good as a year ago, the big players seem to have gone elsewhere, colin

 

Please note, BetFair is seems to be currently OFFLINE
