I lost £4 overnight without making a bet? Anyone else?

Hi All

has anyone else experienced this or are there charges imposed
for simply transferring money between wallets? Here goes...

Last night I transferred money (£525.90) into Australian wallet for a
flutter on the greyhounds this morning. But when I discoverd VERY little
action I decided to transfer the funds back to the main wallet. There was
for some reason only £521.90 there - where did my £4 go to?

I have raised an enquiry with Betfair who are looking into it.
Will post their response when I find out. Watch your wallets!

I am not aware of wallet transfer fees - any ideas? NOTHING whatsoever
shows this up in my Betfair online statement, the money just disappered?

TTFN - all the best - Michael

£ to Aus$ exchange rate fluctuation ? Someone on the Betfair forum brought up something similar about the premium charges.

Had a ghost bet placed in the wolves 17:50 using excel/ba. I have no idea how this bet was placed, the stake was of an amount i used in a spreadsheet last week. Also the latestes version of ba .44 or whatever it is froze at 16:00. I am now on the brink of giving up automated betting for good as its too streesful and time consuming with constant bugs etc

BA doesn't place bets by itself, it only does what it's told to do so I cannot explain where your ghost bet came from. You could have looked at 'View transaction log' in the account menu which would at least have told you if the bet was triggered by Excel.

The latest official release is version 1.1.0.20 for which we don't have bugs constantly reported. All versions after that are pre-release which I made available for users to try out new features which sometimes contained bugs which were fixed as soon as we became aware.

Version 1.1.0.44 does not have any freezing issues that I am aware of so maybe the problem was more to do with your connection.

Hi All again,

well I have my answer now...

Apparently I had made TWO back bets of TWO pounds each,
at odds of 49/1 and 99/1 on the Aussie horses. I only bet on
the greyhounds 99.9% of the time and as stated above my
intention was to have a flutter on the greyhounds.

One of those bets was late night and the other early morning?

I have absolutely no recollection of these at all? Maybe I am going
nuts, eh? However, because it's only petty cash all I shall do now is
change my Betfair password and see if anything like this happens
again? Thanks for reading,

TTFN, Michael

I must now apologize. The "Ghost" bet was placed by setting up BA to a right and the a wrong spreadsheet, entirely my fault. Secondly BA/excel stuck again at 15:10 today but only on my new acer netbook/wireless and not on my desktop pc/ethernet. Either the acer netbook is not powerful enough to drive BA and one workbook with six spreadsheets or my wireless connection is not reliable enough for using BA. I feel it is the wireless connection that is the problem. Next time i hope to think twice before posting carp.
