Multiple tabs & Excel questions

[osknows]

Hi Gary,

I've been experimenting with my BA and Excel setup and hoped you could help me with the following technical questions regarding 'lots' of duplicate tabs?

1. If I open multiple tabs in BA and link to Excel so that all tabs/sheets contain the same market; if bets are placed on the same runner at the same time across all sheets how are the bets actually placed through BA? Do they go together making it possible to place multiple bets on the same runner in the same refresh or are they spread out over a number of refreshes?

2a. Bets - Again if BA/Excel has multiple tabs/sheets all with the same market. If it takes longer than 1 refresh rate to update all remaining sheets how does BA process this? Eg does it complete the update of ALL sheets first, then read the sheets for any bets, then place the bets in that order.... or if a bet appears before all sheets have finished updating will bet placement get priority overriding the update of any remaining sheets?

2b. Prices - What happens if BA refreshes the market prices before it was able to update all Excel sheets from the previous refresh? Eg does it complete updating all sheets for every refresh or will it override non-updated sheets with the newer prices?

3. Does the ba.COM placebets allow an array of bets to be placed on the same runner?

Sorry for so many questions
Thanks
Os
