How many times have you wondered...what the hell happened there? Well...if you can record the Betfair odds, it's also possible to play them back and test any scenario at any speed and test your strategies.

Don't pay for data.. record your own!

If you think of just recording 1 excel cell with a timestamp every X seconds and then developing ability to play that back at whatever speed is required... scaling that up to many cells is relatively easy..!

These were a few files that recorded odds but I haven't looked at them for a while so not sure if they still work...?

Hello,

@alrodopial: if I may ask you to upload again the one you published for soccer it would be great. Unfortunately it's no longer available.
Thank you.

Might be worth Gary sticking some of these excel files on the gruss servers. So many of these files/routines get requested time and time again but usually disappear from the free file servers after a while.

From BA you load eg a race at the first tab, eg Ling 13:45
From BA ->Excel->Log current prices
and from the page that appears you choose the woorksheet "W1"
In sheet "Status W1" you control if the odds will be recorded from cells I22,I23
At sheet Data W1 the odds are been recorded.

I just checked it and is ok

it could be possible my mistake.. but, have a little patience with me plz..

i follow all the instructions, and the sheet W1 seems to work fine, but in "data w1" nothing is still appearing .. is empety! it is normal? it doesnt seem to make any record..

And how about "Lay out of record odds" ?

just a curiosity, but it could be a cause .. im using excel 2007, and on the top of the worksheet it is written between parenteses something like - (compatibility mode).. is it ok?

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.
