reverse Lay and back bet columns via excel??

Postby iankn73 » Mon Mar 16, 2009 5:17 pm

Hi,

I have set BA to reverse bets by default as spread between the Back and Lay price on the Greyhounds can be quite wide and I have been Laying at Back prices to reduce liability.

The problem being that I want to automated this via trigger betting and excel still displays the real Lay prices as opposed to the way its displayed in BA. Is there anyway to reverse the back /lay columns in excel to get better Lay odds?

Thanks,

Ian

You don't need to have it reversed in BA. You have total control over which odds you use from Excel. If you want to back at the lay odds then you would put =H5 in cell R5 for the first runner, or have I misunderstood your requirement?

I'm clueless when it comes to excel. I think this is what I need Gary, so if I want to Lay at Back odds what command do I enter into r5?

And do you have a fully list of all excel trigger commands?

Thanks,

Ian

To pick up the back odds you enter =F5.

Click 'Help' on the program menu then 'Using Excel' on the left hand side. It's all there.

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.
