Hello @cajdavidson

I wanted to wish you happy Holidays!

Yesterday I noticed an error in my code and I updated the repository. I was not able to test the changes and I am not sure that I still have an available account to do it.

cd your-betfair-repository
git pull

I will keep working on this later next week
