A transaction is counted as anything that produces a new bet reference so cancelling a bet does not count.

It has occured to me before to have a transaction counter and I am considering it for a future release.

Gary / Mark, Is there a chance of this being implemented please?
Just to let everyone know, if you exceed the number of bets per hour
your account is debited with NO warning or notification as Milfor
described in the original post. This becomes many a problem when you are testing trading strategies below minimum stakes.
Cheers

The reason is the so called transaction charge. If you bet manually you never pay it. But if you let BA adjust your odds busily on many different markets then you may have so many transactions that you have to pay it. The "nice" thing about it is that you don't see it in "Betting P&L" at all and in your "Account Statement" it only comes up as "debit". So for the heavy users of BA it might be a good idea to scroll down their "Account Statement" if there is somewhere a "debit" instead of a betting event.
Of course it would be wounderful if there was something like a transaction counter in BA to avoid such problems in the future. But I am aware of the fact that other improvements of BA might have priority.

The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.
Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.
Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.
He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.
We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
