Greyhound & Excel

Postby Hunky » Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:02 pm

I've download the Excel sheet Back Third Fav and I am looking to use it for the Greyhounds Place Market.

I've managed to change the instruction for the third fav to second fav as that is what I'm after. Well I think I got it right! Could anyone give me the instruction(s) I need and tell where it goes it for the following?

If the second fav doesn't come in the frame - 1st or 2nd - then I would like the bet to increase by £2. So £2 would become £4, if another lose then £4 would become £6 and so on. When a win occurs - 1st or 2nd - the bet goes back to £2 and the process starts over.

Thanks
Hunky

The real question should be why you want to use such a progression ?
Have you done a longterm analysis on whether this will give you a better return than a simple level stakes strategy ? I can almost guarantee you a level stakes strategy will be better.

I have tried this through another bot and it proved very successful. As the odds on this would be between 2 - 2.5 at a level stake at the end of a "session" there would be a loss.

Thanks though for your thought.

I suspect then that its a negative expectation strategy and therefore you're likely to lose as much, if not more, with a progressive staking plan.
But best of luck....

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.
