Layit,
I know you're planning on taking us over to the API but in the short run, is there any chance of adding a column for excel which shows the profit/liability on a selection?

Is there a way of automating the cancellation of a bet via a trigger?

Just got back to look at triggering via Excel again. Put my trigger formula in trigger column. Trigger activates in Excel i.e. "BACK" or "LAY" (in capitals) I then get an error under the Reference column and no bet is activated on Betfair.

Any ideas?

You must have something in the stake and odds columns as well ... could be fixed values and/or formulas

Bingo IanP,

I had assumed that it placed the trigger odds in the formula and used the set stakes in the program.

Not well up on excel so would appreciate any help in useful formulas that you guys may use.

Thanks,

Ian

For instance you could have a formula to back to win a specfic amount
eg. the formula in P5 could be = IF(N5="BACK",100/(F5-1),"") this would back the selection to win #100

Could anyone who uses the 'Override' function 'in-running', help me understand how it works :-

If I tick the override odds box and enter, say, 1.01 in the 'back odds' on the left of the screen, and then 'in-running' place a back bet, my order is filled at the best back odds available, up to the level of my stake, if sufficent volume of money is available, and down to my 1.01 limit to complete the order.

If I tick the override odds box and enter, say, 10.0 in the 'Lay odds' on the left of the screen, and then 'in-running' place a lay bet, it appears that my Lay order is filled only at 10.0, even if there is money available at lower odds, say 9.0 and 9.2, which would obviously be better because of lower risk.
Any comment would be appreciated
regards moocher

That's strange because I've had the exact reverse. I triggered a LAY tonight which was designed as a "safety net", but was matched immediately at lower odds than I specified. Understandable but I would like to know how to stop it happening from a triggered bet.

Need to follow that post up. I want to trigger a back at best price, but a lay at a specified price. I guess what I'm asking for is another column on the spreadsheet to specifiy "Override Odds" or not.

Apologies to those who I have not replied to yet. I am very busy in my day job at the moment One bit of news I have is that the program will be using the API before xmas! It will still be free. When I get round to calling it version 1.0 and an official release it will still be free. This way I can have the luxury of developing at my own pace and think I can be forgiven for not answering queries straight away.
