COM Interface

Postby doris_day » Sat Aug 02, 2008 11:29 am

Can someone briefly let me have their thoughts regarding this interface's merits relative to the straight Excel one. I have a good in-running algorithm being triggered using Excel but as we all know, milliseconds matter, so I'm wondering if there will be any real advantage using the COM interface.
I must admit I dont really understand what the COM Interface actually is, other than a possible method to interface with more complex scripts written in other languages. Would I find there is a time advantage when triggering bets d'you think ?
Any comments would be helpful.

I also tried to translate my Excel strategy into the COM interface language. It turned out that the Excel triggers are much more comfortable and it requires a lot of programming in the COM interface to achieve things that Excel triggers do automatically. I don't really know which method is faster but I can't imagine that the difference is substantial. If your Excel algorithm works well then I wouldn't switch. Never change a winning team. :wink:

Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't have changed my current setup unless there was a significant time advantage.

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.
