I think the underlying problem may be Betfair, but this is killing my automated betting.

China, Norway Sweden, some they have corrected since I complained to Betfair, different at times on exchange to what the API sends down so Gruss an hour out a lot.

For example, just downloaded (12:11 bst) some games for today.

Argentinian Primera Division, Belgian Jupiler League, Czech Fortuna Liga, Danish Superliga, Dutch Eredivisie, English Premier League and
French Ligue 1 look correct.

Egyptian Premier Wadi Degla v Petrojet 10/08/2018 20:00 (should be 19:00, web wrong too)
German Bundesliga 2 Ingolstadt v Greuther Furth 10/08/2018 18:30 (Web shows 16:30, and real KO is 17:30!)
German Bundesliga 2 Paderborn v Jahn Regensburg 10/08/2018 18:30 (Web shows 16:30, and real KO is 17:30!)
German Bundesliga 2 St Pauli v SV Darmstadt 10/08/2018 20:30 (Web shows 18:30, and real KO is 19:30!)

So, API does not always equal Betfair web, and both can be wrong anyway. Seems very random as to which leagues are incorrect. It's always 1 hour either side of the correct time that I can see, so I wonder if betfair have got their DST algorithm wrong.

Can I ask, as an API Vendor, that you bring this to Betfair's attention. I am continuing to complain to Betfair as loudly as I can.
If I get lost in thought it is because it is unfamiliar territory.

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.
