Trigger-betting excel logging

Postby aelara » Fri May 11, 2007 5:15 pm

Hope the message titles not too confusing!
Basically my question is this: thanks to a few guys on the forum, I can trigger bet certain horses after a race goes in play with the following formula for excel =IF(AND(E$2="IN PLAY",F$2<>"SUSPENDED"),"LAY","WAIT") What I need to do now is that when the race is over, I want to add something to this formula to stop excel logging the prices. What I'm saying is I want to be able to come in an hour or two later and see if any of my prices were matched in running. The way things stand at the moment, once betfair settles the market, excel starts to log zeroes, hence loosing all the data except the last matched prices.
If this makes sense to anybody, is there anything I can add to this formula?

Why not just check your betfair account and look in betting history ? It shows all settled lapsed bets etc I'm sure you can do it in excel but why bother when everything is already quickly available in betting history

Captain Sensible, that would be too easy! No, basically (I should have mentioned above) I want to save the excel pages for research purposes.

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.
