one of my sheets often returns this message and i see exactly why, this is ok however the problem is the matched stake/odds boxes revert to 0
when the message appears, despite there being a matched bet...which causes my formulas to trigger wrong actions...

the number at the start refers to the correct matched bet and if i manually remove the text the correct numbers appear in the odds/stake boxes...

i dont know if this is a bug or not, can anything be done?

It's a response from the API when your trying to cancel or update a bet that has either lapsed cos a markets gone in play/suspended or already been matched so you can't amend/cancel

yes exactly the bet is matched already and cant be amended, so why is the matched data from the odds/stake boxes lost...

The matched odds are updated on each refresh by looking up the bet reference so because the bet reference has an error message appended it cannot be found. If you have VBA code in your spreadsheet then you can code it to remove the error message from reference when it occurs.

Shevek, Gary

I'm also frequently getting the following error in T5,T6 etc

6084684727_BET_TAKEN_OR_LAPSED

This prevents other bets from being triggered because the matched odds & stake are not shown.

By deleting _BET_TAKEN_OR_LAPSED and leaving the Ref No the matched odds & stake are then shown. At the moment I'm doing it manually when I spot the error, is there a way to automatically clear this info. I would be grateful for any info.

Cheers
Castillo

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.
