Hi Thunderfoot -

I use =Large() in excel to tell me the 2nd largest price out of all the runners...

so if the front runner is 1.03 and the next largest is 12 it stands to "reason" that the winner has been reached - and most of the time it has...........apart from the ones where it hasn't and it wipes out all profit........not good.....

The only real way to do this is to sit an watch the race and read it correctly to predict the winner - Override odds option in BA comes into it's own then.

Tennis on the other hand is much better...although I don't do this on fully automatic. I wait until what looks likely to be the last set and "switch it on" to wait until the end of a match.

I'm guessing that's just a typo, surely you want the 2nd smallest price?

No, I realised that I wasn't going to be able to get it to do what I wanted from it so it's shelved just before the getting bets placed stage.

I had a mad idea of trying to learn Java to do it instead but the reading material I have is slow going and I don't get much spare time to read it.

After seeing Adam Todds software I'd want it to keep an updated unmatched amount in another column next to the odds in the ladder, and also to be able to click and drag the amount to different odds to cancel and resubmit another bet.

To be honest, I didn't think about if it could be done for too long because the sheet was flickering so much as it was that any more running time would give me a headache trying to watch it! :lol:

Just about to send you a pm.

Think you've mis-understood ....
Horse 'A' - Odds drop to 1.03
Horse 'B' - Available BACK odds are 12.00 ... 1.50 ... 1.25 ---- this is a warning sign, as the odds are NOT in a tight group,

however if
Horse 'B' - Available BACK odds are 12.00 ... 11.00 ... 9.00 ----- then a much better bet.

I think strategies to profit on the last stages of a race are very volatile and unreliable at the moment.

There appear to be automated responses firing in on both sides. Some people will trigger at say price below 1.15 and offer to back @1.01 (hoping to catch meatier 1.15's), flip side people Laying @1.3's to hoping to catch everything lumped in below.

I prefer to take a position at the start of the race, with lock or limit decisions already in mind. I submit these at the start of the race and live with the consequences. My connection speed or spreadsheet is not up to doing battle on the fly in real time. It's too volatile.

It's all a bit of a gamble really :D

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.
