Why is the in play delay 15 seconds when it should be 5

Because you are placing bets below minimum stake. Betfair do not officially support this so the software has to “cheat”. This “Cheat” requires 3 transactions which all incur the delay, totalling 15 seconds.

On horse racing markets the delay is 1 second and therefore 3 seconds when placing bets below minimum stake.

On some markets the delay is even longer, eg. 8 seconds therefore the total time to place a bet is 24 seconds.

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.
