Thank you for the information re Back-Sp. Something I have noticed today when betting with my timing at D2<=TIMEVALUE("00:02:00") and my odds restricted <11 during the two minutes before the race the odds can change and perhaps only one bet is made with the full stake and then later another horse qualifies and a bet is placed on that meaning I have exceeded my stake. If I place my timing at exactly 2 mins would that mean only bets which qualify at that particular time would be placed?
A further query I have relates to preliminary work.
For each race meeting I have races that I delete according to either track conditions or field size. I do this manually before entering into my excel sheet in Gruss. I am wondering if it is possible to have this automated as it would save a lot of time.
The two criteria are :
Delete the complete race and horses if the race is classified as Soft 6,Soft 7, Heavy 8,Heavy 9, Heavy 10.
and
Eliminate all races that have less than 8 runners or greater than 18 runners.
Below is a small sample worksheet, formatting received not the best.

Perhaps it might be easier to have some VBA code to sort out the info from the heading which is a complete string?.

My selection process allows for up to bets on three different horses. One of the criteria is -no bets if odds >11. Now say at the two minute mark I have three possible selections listed and they show odds of $4-$8 and $13.
What is happening is the bets are triggered immediately and placed $7 for the $4 odds and $3 for the $8 odds. Now that should be it as I have out laid my full stake $10.
The problem arises when the odds of the third selection reduce to under 11 after those bets are placed and therefore it now qualifies as a bet and a bet is then placed on this third horse before the race starts.

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.
