Gary, your work on the tabs/tab area has inspired me into another doodle.
Tidying up in “paint” is easy given that I know what’s in “betting options”. If you had such einsight from day one, it would never have become untidy in the first place. So the untidy issue has never been a criticism from your long time customers. Just thought I’d point that out.

Anyway it may give you some ideas.

Criticisms of my doodle are, obvious really lol.

Text style

Text size on the left, 10 looked to small, yet 11 looks too big, or to be more accurate, 11 looks good but fills the height space too much and no room for a “spare”

Spacing between box areas looks a little odd

My box outlines give it a “cheap” look.

I think my doodle has emphasised what I tried to explain earlier about “Gruss style”. Your tabs/tab area now has the same quality look about it as your preset stake/buttons/grid, whereas my box areas are not ugly, but they do look cheap next to yours. That is the point I was trying to make about the quick pick. But given the amount of code (I’m guessing) it would take to write your own menu, I just wouldn’t worry about it unless you was really bored.

Just two small points. If you ever go back into the tab area, the left hand side “outline” needs a tweak. And I think the web homepage looks much better, but I never realised the background colour faded from bottom to top, till now :lol:

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.
