In-running automated greening - help required

Postby stbrides » Thu Mar 03, 2011 12:53 am

I am looking for assistance, paid or otherwise, to help me with an excel spread sheet to link to Betfair Assistant.

I bet in running, looking for horses that show signs of not running well. I lay these horses with a maximum liability and at whatever odds are trading at that moment. The lay will be placed using one click betting in Betfair Assistance but what I would like excel to do is; once the lay bet is matched, put on a back bet at odds that are a percentage higher (e.g., 10% or 25% etc) than my matched lay bet with a stake that would give me a green position. Once both bets have been matched I would like to be able to lay the horse again via one click betting and have the automated part repeat again.

I hope some is able to assist

Thanks
Steve

You don't need Excel to do this. There is a already a feature available on the grid to do this in one click.

See the following video which demonstrates adding a custom column to the grid. When you click this column it will place a lay bet at the current odds where the lay bet will be placed at £2 liability and when matched it will place a back bet at 10% higher.

Note: In the video I forgot to tick "Auto level" above "Ticks = %". You will need to tick this option so that the back bet stake will be calculated to green up across runners.

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.
