BA for betdaq and xps

[alrodopial]

Hi, is there a way to log bd's sp prices into a sheet?
I see that the "log sp" option is deactivated in the menu
Does this info exists in the bd's api?

I am looking into it.

I've reviewed the API documentation and unfortunately the SP value is not available in the API.

Trying to find a way to capture the XPS (for few days, for testing) I see that the only way is buy placing an XPS bet at all runners and then
getting this data from bd's account or from ba for bd if it has recorded these bets and their results
but I don't see any excel trigger available that will fire an XPS bet (BACKSP/LAYSP)
I think there was an option that will convert the unmatched portion of a bet into XPS bet (and capture the odds this way- most of the times?) or
I can only do it by placing manually the bets at ba/site?

[alrodopial]

In brief: How can I place an XPS bet through excel or com (if available)?

[GaryRussell]

You cannot place SP bets as you can on Betfair because they only offer the option to match unmatched portion at SP.

You can use the -SP modifier eg. LAY-SP and use odds that won't get matched before the start of the race. eg. lay at odds 1.01 and the whole bet will be matched at SP.

In the COM interface use keep bet type 2.

eg.

Code: Select all
