Greyhound Market Natigation

Postby hawk180 » Sat Apr 04, 2026 12:57 pm

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone could advise on the cleanest approach for moving the greyhound markets on in the quickpicklist.
I have a bot which I have tried moving on using the com method, but its not working robustly.

I have also tried using the UI with wait until the actual off of the preceeding race. I wondered if I need to do something using marketid or if there is a preferred method that others find works.

Many thanks
Jon

So I use the 'Wait...Scheduled Off' setting from the market tab and the Quick pick list furthest to the left as you look at the screen. Here's the code I'm using which I hope helps.

Code: Select all
# Detect a new race by comparing market IDs
prices = ba.ba.getPrices()
if not prices:
    time.sleep(1)
    continue

current_m_id = prices[0].marketId
market_name = ba.ba.marketName

if current_m_id != last_market_id:
    # NEW RACE detected here
    winsound.Beep(1800, 400)
    print(f"\nNEW RACE: {market_name}")
    last_market_id = current_m_id

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.
