selection_id

Postby petsol » Sat Oct 09, 2010 9:25 pm

Hi!

I'd like to ask, if there is a way to get the selection_id for a given selection. I need it for linking my data with betfair historical data

-and sorry if it was addressed already, I couldn't find it

Thanks

Don't think there's a simple way thru gruss, might be available via the com functions.

There shouldn't be any need for the actual selectionId if you're matching with the betfair data files as the selection name's are constant and unique

There isn't currently a way of getting the selection ID, but I can quite easily add an additional column for this. I will try and add this to the Beta version in the next few days.

The additional column is now available in version 1.1.0.66x21. Please install using the link below.

Tick "Betfair selection ID" under additional columns when setting up the Excel link. Additional columns are output starting at column Y.

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.
