Bet Place Times

[Newbie Trader]

Hi,

For the last few days I've been using the training mode to get used to the features and today I've been using live mode but where with training mode bets were being placed instantly with the live mode theres a definite split second delay between clicking the mouse and seeing the money appear on screen.

In the API settings I have Bets and Prices set to 200ms - MPC 3 and I have a fibre optic internet connection.

I'm now apprehensive about placing bets because they dont appear as quick as they probably should.

Is there any settings that Ive missed out and is there anyway of speeding this up?

Help appreciated

You bet with stakes under the betfair minimum?

This is as expected. The Toy doesn't show a bet as placed until it gets confirmation from Betfair.

Depending on where you are in the world & broadband speed etc, this is usually between 0.1 & 0.7 seconds. { Although on the rare occasions Betfair is having a bad day, it can be longer. }

No i'm using £25 stakes. Theres no countdown clock o r anything like IP bets but there seems to be a small delay and i dont think its lag either.
