Fake Gruss Software???

[xraymitch]

Gary, having had a quick look at your Betdaq application (which I liked) I am just wondering if you are aware of Silverlight - but I guess someone such as you with your high level of program skills and integrity are already familiar with these developments.

Here is a blurb from their website:

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. By using Silverlight's support for .NET, High Definition video, cost-effective advanced streaming, unparalleled high-resolution interactivity with Deep Zoom technology, and controls, businesses can reach out to new markets across the Web, desktop, and devices.

Gary, all these big words like Net, DLL, and COM are worrying me. I had a large BA application using VBA in the pipeline, and VBA is one big word enough for me, I have to struggle to get THAT working as it is. So please reassure me that a Betdaq version of the BA interface won't take much conversion of any BF version software I write.

Hmmm, can't huh? Ominous...

When we get around to producing a Betdaq program for Excel triggered betting I will do my best to make sure changes to existing spreadsheets will be minimal. I cannot guarantee you won't have to make any changes.

Flex is more mature and incredibly easy to get to grips with. I've only had Flex Builder for 35 days and you can see how far I've got. Also it supports cross domain requests with a little cooperation from Betdaq's API team (ie. the program contacts Betdaq's server direct, it does not go through our server, this is not usually possible with web based applications).

sorry to bother u with an eta question, is the .Net dll way down the pipeline or a not so far away feature. I am very much glad you be implimenting it.

Fairy nuff Gary, please excuse my impatience.

Hi Gary

Very interested in what is going on regards Betdaq, but for it to be of use to myself I need the Excel interface.

I would also like to add my weight to the concerns about having to recode as I am already way out of my depth with the VBA code I,ve cobbled together.

Hi Gary,

First post on your forum. I'm excited your are making the bedaq version of BA multi platform You earlier said that firefox could give some issues, and therefore recommend IE. Have you tried the beta with other browsers like safari? This would be heaven for the trading mac user!! No more problems with parallel desktops etc.

[GaryRussell]

No, not tested in Safari, but presume it works. If you have a Mac then maybe you could give it a try. What happens in Firefox is that is slows down over time (in a matter of minutes), you can see Firefox's CPU usage creeping up. The CPU usage should remain fairly constant.

I used flash stuff ages ago to make my own bot and there were memory problems with it in that it would have issues caching/buffering when calling a php script to get my info from betfair . It could only hold a a certain amount of requests to the same url and then effectively got jammed up. I ended up having to add a randomly generated field that wasn't used to get round it. Haven't used it for a long time and guess they may have fixed it but probably worth looking around the net see if it's a known probem

I tried the combination with Safari a couple of times and it is not perfect. It keeps refressing my browser. Could be my iMac though.

We may release it as a downloadable Adobe AIR application. This may make it more consistent across platforms.

Thanks for the update Gary, this make me happy AdobeAir could go a long way and have a prosperous future!
