[quote="GaryRussell"][quote="NorthView"]Hi Gary/Mark,

With 1.3.07 when I cycle through a quick pick list of horse race win markets before the off, once a race has finished cell A2 isn't populated any more with the race details but with - 00:00, which stops the cycle through the races from continuing.

Please can this be fixed urgently as it's stopping me from betting?

Thanks.[/quote]
I have fixed this bug in version 1.3.0.12. Please install from the link below.

It seems to be working again after this fix. Thanks Gary.

If I have pages open on the same market I can only get the money matched over time graph up on page one.

Thanks.

I can see the issue. I will fix it as soon as I can.

Sorry I may have misunderstood the issue originally. I will look at this again.

[quote="GaryRussell"][quote="neeeel"]hi, another thing I have noticed, in AUS markets at least, ba.cancelbet only cancels a bet if the market the bet is in is open in gruss. In the previous version, it would cancel the bet even if the market wasnt open.[/quote]
I'll look into it. Off the top of my head though it's probably because you have to pass the market id to the cancelOrders call where it wasn't required in the previous API.[/quote]

Hi, can you confirm that I need to add something to the call to cancelBet() , and if so what and where? or is it that you need to update the cancelBet function in gruss?
thanks

Does anybody knows if data request limits exist in the api NG?
I think I read somewhere that it doesn't.

In the API NG documentation it states no data charges for API requests, still transaction charges.

Download the API docs and check out the overview section. Its the same docs as this link https://api.developer.betfair.com/servi ... ew/1212443

Thanks Captain
So there is no need to set throttle request.

According to the docs there are no data charges , betfair impose limits on software providers to only make a Max of 5 calls a second per market so I guess that's their way if throttling calls for now.

I am adding an optional marketId parameter to cancelBet() which will be required if the market is not currently open. Unfortunately this is the only way to support this. I will release an update shortly.

One bug I seem to have picked up on the Betfair side, a call to ba.getAllTradedVolume using the COM returns prices that are not Betfair ticks.

For example, previously this COM function would return exact tick values such as 3.0, 3.05, 3.1 etc but it's now returning prices such as 3.01, 3.07, 3.12 etc. This is right across the price range from 1.01 to 1000.

I've been reviewing my code from the last version for API 6 and it did not consolidate the odds. It returned the odds as provided by the API. The code for the ladder interface did consolidate them which is evidence that API 6 returned the odds as you have seen. Are you absolutely sure about this? I am stumped.

It's probably markets with non runners Gary, where they've adjusted the odds for the reduction factor. You'd need to find a market with a material NR to replicate it I'd guess

Hi Gary,

Something has definitely changed at some point as the data used to be tick values which I used as a key to a dictionary. It may have been changed at some point on the old API6. Not to worry, I'll manually round to the nearest tick. Thanks for looking onto it.

Hi, a bug that occured in the old version is still happening in the latest (.13) version.

When viewing "Innings Runs" on a cricket match, then clicking on "225 runs or more" to bring up the Betfair price history graph, the whole program crashes.

It is happening right now on the SL v England game, does it every time

Thanks

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
