Update v UpdateStake

Postby macdos01 » Mon Jan 24, 2011 8:32 am

Hi all,

If I want to update both the stake and the odds at once what is/are the approprite trigger/s I should use? I have used update to successfully change the odds, but I am unsure about what to do if I want to update both at the same time.

To do this you need to effectively cancel the bet and place it again because Betfair do not provide an option to change both at the same time. The triggers for this are BACKR and LAYR. Use them exactly the same as BACK and LAY, ie. if you are using something like BACK-T1 then you will need to use BACKR-T1 so that the new bet also has a tick offset.

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.
