Excel Triggered Betting - Basic Questions

[freda]

I need a little guidance in triggered betting via Excel. I am comfortable with the overall concept, but a little confused over the application of the concept!

When I link to an Excel spreadsheet, a lot of information is displayed. Most of this is self-explanatory, but there are a few cells which I do not understand. Is there a definitive list of what the information in each cell represents anywhere? Also, is there a list of recommended formats for each cell anywhere?

Triggered betting - which cells should I enter the information in? I can guess from the example spreadsheet, but I'd really like to know for sure. Also, which cells should I never use myself as they contain automatic data? For example, I know that I should never use the 'special trigger cells', J2 and Q2.

I have spent a lot of time looking through the forum (honest!) but I can't seem to find a basic guide that deals with these sorts of issues - can some kindly soul point me in the right direction?

Many thanks indeed.

Have you looked at the user guide? Select user guide from the help menu, There is a section in the guide named "Using Excel".

Gary, many thanks for the swift reply. Yes, I have read the User Guide. I didn't find the explicit information I am after.

I am aware that I can probably work it all out through trial and error, but I am reluctant to use this approach with my money at stake!

Many thanks.

We are working on a new user guide at the moment. If there are only a few cells you don't understand can you tell me what they are and I will explain them.

Triggered betting - which cells should I enter the information in? I can guess from the example spreadsheet, but I'd really like to know for sure.

They are all listed in the user guide.

Triggering bets: columns Q to S
Special trigger cells: J2 and Q2

which cells should I never use myself as they contain automatic data?

Columns A to P
Columns T to X, but you can use all cells in the range T1:X3

You can use all other cells as BA does not write to them.
