SelectionId confirmation
-
Hi all, I believe I have now got to grips with the SelectionId data for the automation.
Just wanted to confirm that the SelectionId for over 0.5 goals is the same as the SelectionId for the over 0.5 first half goals. 5851484.
If so does this make a difference or not.
ThanksRob

@Adam Thanks for your prompt reply. 5851484 was a typing mistake, 5851483 got it !!!
I've just had a eureka moment as I have been having problems getting the footy automation to work.
I only import "Provider, EventId and SelectionId" and it brings up all the data on BF manager perfectly.
All sussed now so severely happy bunny.
Thanks again you two for getting back so soon.Rob

@Robert-Caven Yes, the selectionId for "Over 0.5" is always the same (it's actually 5851483).
It's the same outcome, just in a different market. Same as how each team will always have the same selectionId across all markets*.
I don't know what you're using for automation, but you probably want to use a combination of marketId and selectionId to identify a unique selection.
*Betfair actually say selectionIds aren't guaranteed to be unique, in other words they could be re-used and the same team isn't always guaranteed to have the same ID, but I've never seen this happen in 15 years on Betfair personally.
