Non-runners

Postby superhans » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:43 am

Hi

Is there an easy way to not display non-runners in a horse racing market market, either in the Gruss market window or at least on the excel page that it links to?

I'm trying to set up triggered betting and need a way to get the correct number of runners in my algorithm that's robust against horses being withdrawn. I'm pretty sure I can code a macro to do it, but wondered if there was a Gruss option I could just tick instead?

Thanks!

A possible excel solution...

=COUNTIF(A5:A55,"*(NR)*") will count the occurences of (NR) in the range A5:A55

So number of runners could be calculated as

=COUNTA(A5:A55)-COUNTIF(A5:A55,"*(NR)*")

That will show you how many have been withdrawn since the market was first displayed in Excel. The total number of non runners, including those containing (NR), is displayed in cell G3.

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.
