Excel - Show the race going

Postby eduardoneco » Tue Sep 30, 2014 12:35 am

Hello everyone.... Is it possible that the spreadsheet show us the going (good, soft, hard, etc.) of the race??? Another issue that I have is if it possible that in the same spreadsheet I can have the win market and the place market???

I can´t find this options to select them...... This kind of feature is something that I need for my new system (in-play trading).....

Thank in advance.......

Hi,

Sorry the "going" is not available in the Excel data feed because Betfair don't supply it.

Because the Win and Place are separate Betfair markets you need to load them into Excel separately which can be the same Workbook just different Worksheets.
You would then need to do a lookup between the sheets to get the all the data into one sheet.

See my post in the following thread:-

Thanks Mark....

So, the betfair can't "show" the going... The only way I see to get this working is a manual input..... I will try, then......

Again, thank you very much.....

You could also scrap the going data from another website in VBA using "createDocumentFromUrl" and then navigating the structure to get to the Going data in the website.

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.
