Hi Gary,
Think I'm missing something. Don't have an Offset Bet Ref column.
T = Bet Ref
U = Bet Time
V = Avg Matched Odds
W = Matched Stake
X = Profit / Loss

Don't tell me there's something I haven't switched on :oops:

Using Ver 1.1.0.62

It's optional and only available in the Beta version. Are you expecting the bet ref in column T to show the reference for the lay bet when it is placed? It's not how it works, it will only show the the first bet that is placed, ie. the back bet.

Thought it might be the Beta version. Yes, I've noticed it's only the BACK Bet Ref. that's shown in Col. T, but what I'm doing is using column 'X' (Profit/Loss) to identify if a LAY bet hasn't been placed i.e. if the monetary value is a high %'age of what's been staked, then I see that as a BACK bet not having had an opposing LAY bet made against it.

Now here's a thought .....

By using BACK-TL2-F'x'-SL4-SL trigger, the 'F' modifier only refers to the BACK bet so, as we've determined, this could lead to an open BACK bet.

IF 2 - EXCEL worksheets (call one BACK & other LAY) are used with BA feeding-in the same market into each worksheet, on the BACK worksheet the trigger BACK-F'x' can be used. On the LAY worksheet would want a LAY trigger with an 'F', SL4 and SL modifier, so would LAY-F'x'-SL4-SL work to produce an Auto Level Profit/Loss? Obviously both worksheets would be formula linked to each other so references from one can be used on the other.

Then if the LAY bet hasn't been triggered after 'x' seconds it's automatically cancelled and a trade-out LAY bet (I'd probably use LAYR) can then be triggered using whatever odds are available (within reason :wink: ) to produce Auto Level Profit/Loss, thereby avoiding the current problem I (and I think 'Os') have of BACK bets not being traded out.

In a nut shell, rather than using BACK-TL2-F'x'-SL4-SL on one worksheet I want to split the BACK & LAY actions that this trigger does, over the 2 worksheets, but giving the same result. I think I can sort out the issue of open BACK bets from 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.
