Markets load into Xcel more and more slowly over time

Postby zingomax » Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:11 pm

Starts fast then after I have gone through a series of races loading bets, there is a long lag that develops - 30-60 + seconds or more before it updates the spreadsheet with the new race.

Logging out of BA and going in again seems to work but is there another way to keep the initial speed?

1. Are you using the "Log results" feature?

2. How are you cycling through the races: using "-1" in Q2 or using the auto select feature from the market menu? If using "-1" are you doing this while all previous races are still active (ie. not yet settled)?

Hi

I have the logged bet option ticked but don't actually use it in practice so could uncheck this if it helped.

I have been moving through the markets in BA by clicking on the side menu rather than through the quick pick list and -1.

Icould change my approach to moving from market to market if this would help?

The markets are still active (not settled) when I move on

I switched off the log results feature and this seems to have solved the problem - thanks for the hint

I'll see if I can optimise this. It checks the results each time a market is loaded and this takes longer when there are more unsettled bets. It doesn't have to check if the market is still active, but it is at the moment.

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.
