Problem to cancell unmatched bets.
Posted in Bfexplorer Products by Hamid
Hi Stefan,
I have a problem concerning the cancellation of my unmatched bets.
I receive this message sometime (1 or 2 times for 15 markets I play) this message:
"Cancelbetfair betfair error message: The exchange has not completed matching the bet before the bet matching time expired. You should use GetMUbets to determine if the bet was cancelled sucessfully."
Nb: It seems to happen when trading cycle is repeated (but I am not sure at 100%)
Thanks

Hi Hamid,
You should realise that bfexplorer communicates with betfair using betfair web services, the betfair api. The application sends a request and receives a response. If the bfexplorer shows an error message after making any request to betfair api, it does not mean that bfexplorer itself makes some error, it only shows what receives from betfair api.
If after any operation betfair api responses with error message bot logic acts the way that any operation is postponed and bet status is retrieved again after 15 seconds and depending on what state bot was before, bot repeats its operation or ends its activity.
Last weeks betfair api had a lot of problems, and due to error message your application received I could only guess that it was again maybe during such problems because the error message is quite strange in the context the bot had been operating.
