Close bet wont action

Postby Sussexguy44 » Sun Nov 13, 2022 12:28 pm

I have a spreadsheet which places a back bet under certain conditions and this works well. The Back bet is placed. Im looking to close the best at 5 seconds before the race on the bet that has been backed. I have a back column AT set up with = IF(AND(AG5=3,$E$2="Not In Play"),"BACK",""). This works fine. In AU I have = IF(AND(AR9=4,$E$2="Not In Play"),"CLOSE",""). I then have =CONCATENATE(AT5,AU5) In AV which link to the trigger column. When the bet tries to CLOSE it shown in AV as BACKCLOSE and no close bet is made. Do I need to Clear the word BACK somehow. Any help would be welcome.

Hi,
In AV5 I have =CONCATENATE(AT5,AU5). The back bet is placed and shows with a reference and the word BACK to show a BACK bet in both AT5 and AV5.

I then await for the best to close hoping that = IF(AND(AR9=4,$E$2="Not In Play"),"CLOSE","") in AU5 will do this. It tries and shows the word CLOSE but does not actually place the bet. It simply show the word Close after the word Back. BACKCLOSE.

= IF (AU5="CLOSE", "CLOSE", AT5) - Hi, I have tried this and it works. It seems to clear the BACK word and all is fine. THanks for your help.

Hiya, Im just having a few challenges. Is it possible to Greenup all positions with the simple rule being that the TIMEVALUE is under 15 seconds before the race start time? Is this VBA or can it be done with a TRigger or Formula?

I think there was a spreadsheet somewhere here that was trying to greenup but I don't remember exactly where
It will need many changes though
I think (not sure , you have to test it) that the formula to greenup is
2ndBetAskedOdds = current best available odds (back or lay)
2ndBetStake= (1stBetMatchedOdds/2ndBetAskedOdds)/1stBetMatchedStake

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.
