some results not being logged

Postby laffo16 » Wed Apr 30, 2008 1:59 am

I cant figure out why only some of my results are being logged. As it is a script which fires my bets in, at first i thought it might just be the unmatched bets, but having checked over my results from betfair page, i see that some results havent been logged. My script operates as follows:

- place bet into market at -1 offset from current odds
- wait until bet has finished pending. then get the Ref ID
- store this ref ID on a different sheet for future ference
- load next market (Q2:-1)

i have left BA logging all day, havent disabled the logging at any point. any ideas how i can fix this? This is on the uk greyhound market. I think i can recall placing a bet but no bet log was placed in "MyBets" once or twice before but didnt think much of it at the time.

If a bet is placed matched or unmatched in to the market, once the pending result has returned a Ref ID, will the bet at this moment be logged in the "MyBets"?

if the market is changed while the bet remains unmatched, will the result still be logged?

MyBets will not list the bet until the following refresh. Also the Excel refresh is triggered by price refreshes and MyBets mirrors the bets manager, the bets manager is updated independently of the prices refreshes so it cannot be guaranteed that MyBets will be updated even on the next refresh if the bets refresh receives a slow response. Basically MyBets should be the same as the bets manager so if the bet is in the bets manager when Excel is updated then MyBets will be updated.

so both matched and unmatched bets are placed in the "MyBets" but their could be a second or so delay before this occures. Today i will delay my script (8 secs) from jumping to the next market so soon after its bet is placed to prehaps give some extra time for MyBets to update if that is the case.

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.
