Excel In Play - Further Q

Postby aubweaver » Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:51 am

Hi,
Further to my previous question. I have used 'Stop Loss/TickOffsets Trigger Modifiers' in the past, to eliminate the need for additional worksheets but I found the 1 tick higher (or lwr) "to ensure a match" was not enough at that point of In Play, ie the odds could move straight past the set odds. Is there a way to make the gap greater, ie if I have a BACK matched at 8 and I set a Stop Loss at odds of 14 (120 ticks). Could I have the required odds open to maybe 18. Therefore if the LAY is triggered at 14, I will have between 14-18 for a match? Also I note that .05 for a tick is not an allowable increment on Betfair at the slightly higher odds, does BA automatically adjust this?
I was looking at using a Trigger Modifier for example:- BACK-TF4-SL120
Which I hope means if I have a matched BACK at odds of 8 and if the odds go down to 4 it will trigger a bet and being a LAY will match at anything lower. If however it goes up first and hits 14, I would like an upper end of 18 or 20 to ensure a good chance of a match.
Many Thanks,
Peter

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.
