Hi betondroid team,
Can you tell me: How is a delay (milisecond) between bet (click) on betondroid app AND bet(put) on market on betfair server. (for example 100ms, 200ms... )
How long time travel my bet from betondroid app on mobile to betfair server.
Thank you

Hi, lentak707,

Actually internet packet delivery time from one host to another depends on many summands:
a) delivery time from your device (WiFi, LTE, 3G, 2G) to provider
b) delivery time from your internet provider to internet backbone
c) delivery time from backbone to Betfair;s internet provider
d) delivery time from Betfair's internet provider to Betfair server

Delivery time could vary from 10-20 msec to seconds and usually also depends on your location and time of the day.
So delivery time can be different even during same day.

But one can be known for sure.
As far as Betfair servers physically located in the Ireland delivery time could be less and depends how close your current location to Ireland.
