Syncing time with betfair

Postby Lewis » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:15 pm

Hi,

I run gruss linked to excel on a VPS server - the past 10 days or so I have been experiencing [from nowhere] a number of losses where gruss has failed to close my positions before the race starts.

I believe the problem is that my server's clock is not synced with betfair and races are starting 'before' my bot has a chance to green up. Has anyone noticed any races going off early the past week or so? and if they haven't and it seems it is a problem at my end how do people ensure that they are running at the same time as betfair.

When I say 'sync' it does not need to be exact as I normally close all positions with 30 seconds before scheduled off which has worked for me for almost a year now - this is a fairly new problem.

Thanks - Lewis

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.
