Home BETTING TOOLKIT USER GUIDE Options Betfair Data Settings
The settings in this section concern details about how the program obtains data from Betfair.
Virtual odds: activates or deactivates the display of virtual odds on the book, i.e. the odds calculated by the exchange manager which do not correspond to real bets on that selection but come from equivalence calculations with bets placed on other selections providing the player best conditions to satisfy a given bet placed on the market.
Update Frequency: it is possible to set the frequency with which the book of a market is updated. This setting should be made based on the capacity of your connection and the number of markets that are kept open at the same time.
Maximum number of requests per second: limits the maximum number of API calls to the exchange operator in the case of multiple markets open at the same time.
Hide balance: to be used if you do not want the balance to appear in the lower bar of the main window for privacy reasons.
Automatic balance update: establishes whether and how often your account balance will be updated in the lower bar of the main window. If the automatic update function is not active, to update the balance you will need to press the appropriate button located on this bar.
Activate the 'Heartbeat' function: by activating this option, if the connection with the server is lost for more than 2 minutes, market orders will be automatically canceled by Betfair.
