Sorry, I don't know why I didn't notice before because you mentioned the fact that you are using the Place Bets example spreadsheet in your first post. I don't know how much you have modified this example, but if you haven't changed it much then this will be the cause of the problem.

The odds range you enter in the place bets spreadsheet is the range used to trigger the bet, it does not mean if the SP is between these prices then you will get matched. It means if the current back odds are in this range then trigger the bet requesting the current back odds. If it's being placed close to the off using the current best back odds then there is every chance that these odds will be more than the actual SP.

If you want all your bets to be matched then you could just change it to always insert 1.01 in column R when the bet is triggered so that you are saying the minimum SP odds you will accept are 1.01.

I assume column R currently contains something like the follow.
Code: Select all
=IF(AA5="BACKSP",AH5,AI5)

Change it as follows.
Code: Select all
=1.01

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.
