If you are using live mode to maually trade every day, decent sized stakes, and open other instances of BA in practice mode to test automation do you think this would be ok with Betfair?

Many thanks
Probably, but I guess it would depend on the amount of use of practice mode. I doubt anybody knows what algorithm Betfair use to determine commercial usage.

Practice mode can be useful to get the hang of the markets.Today, just a few minutes ago my little in-play automation file threw up a £43 loss - it's called BASIC 3m cos' it usually returns a nice little profit on three milers - not with this sort result:-

That looks like a two horse race with one horse having three heads (thankfully I was using record/practice mode- so it did't hurt a bit) . Look at the low column 1.01, 1.03, 1.12 and the fave came in at a miserable 2.4!
Use 2PC's one for live and one for practice use the practice to test automation.
