Yes, I always monitor task manager cpu and memory usage. But what I want to ask is which V.P.S. (Virtual Private Server) service and ideal configuration do you recommend as the best to run bfexplorer. thank you

Yes, all is perfect, now. Thank you.

Yes, it's good to know that Štefan is aware of this problem in Betfair website. I had no idea that there are only 15 paying subscribers, understand that his time and extra work should be compensated to improve live scores performance and wouldn't mind to contribute myself to have most important matches covered. Another very important issue for me would be to have goals confirmed only after ball goes to the midfield and match is resumed. If possible, that would also be a major upgrade.    

I understand, but my bots need this data from main matches to be profitable. They cannot work only with live football match time and score from so few matches from lower leagues.

Even UEFA Nations League semi final Italy vs Spain, the most important football match today, has no livescore. It says 0' 0-0 when actually it's already 28' and 0-1. This is surreal. 

My bots can't work like this

All japanese and thai matches that started at 11h and 12h with 0' and 0-0 score ? Sorry, but this is not Betfair problem.

Problem persists. Tired of losing money because never know when livescores are working or not...

Today Football Livescores are working fine again. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my computer. Yesterday Football Livescores failed to refresh properly during the whole day. Today everything is ok again. Thank you.

It could make some sense not to make so many calls until the first goal is scored and there is no active bet and most of all if the match ends 0-0. Am I right ?

Sure. That is why Î say this delay must have been imposed because of low value in Strategy/Bot Executor Active markets Update intervals. It had nothing to do with passive markets.

In that case, problem can only be with Strategy/Bot Executor Active markets Update intervals. Maybe less than 2 seconds it's just much too low value. That is the only reason I can find...

I also never opened ay market witout placing any bet on it. That argument makes no sense at all. The main questions here are: do BF Explorer makes any data readings when Monitor passive markets are off and all markets on Strategy/Bot Executor are passive ? Does BF Explorer make any data readings simply because you are logged in and only with passive markets on Strategy/Bot Executor ?  

I just need to know if I only use Strategy/Bot Executor, Start execution: -00:05:00, Update interval (s): 1.5 and I select 5 markets on 100 matches. With Monitor passive markets set to NO, will there be any data readings before 5 minutes of start of first match (while all markets on Strategy/Bot Executor are still "Passive") ? Thank you

Betfair finally answered my messages and kindly fixed the delay problem caused by BF Explorer software data requests:

"Hi,

Recently we have done a review of usage of exchange market data to highlight the accounts reading the most and using up our system resources. 

On review of your account, you have been found to have made over xxx million requests to the exchange in the last 3 months using the BFExplorer API. This amount of reading activity must be reduced if you would like the market data delay to be removed from your account. 

Please could you explain why your account is reading this volume of data.

The odds on my betfair exchange webpage also have the same 2 to 4 minutes delay. I have sent a request to developers.betfair.com last weekend but got no answer.  In no time they will be also kicked off from the uk

I have checked my mail and I have no message from Betfair.

Ok I uderstand. I tried what you suggest but same problem persists. What reason Betfair override API on multiple accounts which only thing in common is software ? What else can I do ? Thank you 

I have same problem. Betfair also said to contact software support.
