What you need is a double trigger dependant on the first trade being filled. Which I am led to believe is not possible yet.

Unless someone knows any different. <img border="0" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" alt="">

This double trigger point....

Open up two pages in Layit's program. Have them <u>both</u> relating to the event you're talking about. Have one page spitting out its data to Sheet 1 of Excel, and the other to Sheet 2. Set your initial trigger on Sheet 1, and then the conditional 2nd trigger on Sheet 2 referring to Bet Ref column on Sheet 1. Et voila - a double trigger.

PS Haven't tried this myself, but it feels like it should work.... Let me know if it works!

I may be wrong AndStartAgainAtYourBeginnings but I don't think the bet reference actually tells you that the bet has been filled mate. Just that it has been presented.

I hope I am wrong because your idea should work if that is the case

That was what I was going to suggest but you still won't know whether the first back has been matched - you will only know that it has been submitted.

Good point (both of you!) - I was kind of assuming that the first trigger would have g'teed that the bet was taken, but you're right - it would only tell that it had been submitted.

A classic example of why I haven't already tried this sort of thing!

If you want a sort of double trigger you can always have two separate spreadsheets running from layits program, one to back when the odds in column F (back odds1) hit 1.5 i.e.

=+IF(F5<1.51,"BACK","")

and another sheet running on Sheet2 using a formula to lay the field

=+IF(F5<1.51,"LAYFIELD","")

You just need to open two windows in layits program with the same market loaded and one logging in sheet1 the other logging prices in sheet2

I'd try with £2 stakes though if I were you as just because a horse hits 1.5 doesn't mean you'd get the price with a 2/5 second delay and doesn't neccessarily mean it'll go as low as 1.3. You could end up with lots of losing 1.3 and 1.5 bets.

Ooops probably best using the layodds 1 column H for your trigger as when a market opens in running most prices aren't filled and you'd kick off a lot of bets relying on the back odds column as an indicator of where the market is

Does Layit's program not cover all events? I notice that the Paris Masters covers winner but not semi's. Please, someone?

Enzed. People have asked this many times and it is due to a bug. Your post has finally prompted me to fix it. Next time you open the program it should update to version 0.98d. When you initially display the markets they are not all loaded at once to save time, when you click on a market name any underlying markets are then added to the tree. eg. if you list the markets and then expand the BNP Paribas Masters market with clicking on the market name you will only see the semi finals. Click on the market name and this will add the winner market to the list. I have also remove the Coupons markets as my program does not support these.

LayIt - Excellent program, but I've just discovered that if you click to lay several times during a race in quick succession, you are totally in the hands of the program as to what odds you lay at as it only registers the click (and refers to the current odds to lay in that column again) AFTER the previous bet has processed. (eg, I just clicked to lay Miss Mattie Ross @ 3.8 twice - first bet processed at 3.8, second processed at 6.0, despite me wanting to lay it at 3.8) It would be MUCH better if it could be set up to use the odds in the columns at the time the request is actually submitted, rather than after the processing of the previous bet.

Latalomne. Was this in running? It's the first time someone has raised this issue, but you are correct, while a bet is being processed program input is blocked as they are running on the same thread. I will fix it as soon as possible.

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.
