A version of the placeOrders field which accepts all of the fields available in the Betfair API operation. The additions are: marketVersion, customerStrategyRef, async, customerOrderRef, timeInForce, minFillSize, betTargetType, betTargetSize. While some of these fields are a bit obscure, the alternative version allows customers to tag more effectively tag orders for later analysis. It also enables fill-or-kill orders.
Another important benefit is that bets of multiple types can be placed with a single order (LIMIT, LIMIT_ON_CLOSE, MARKET_ON_CLOSE). This reduces time taken while waiting for response from the exchange when compared to using multiple orders.
