Hi Gary,
I just tried to download the Betdaq version (test reasons)
How long will it take to receive the registration mail?

From what I saw in the inerface there isn't yet an excel program possibility.Is that right?

Thanks

You normally receive it instantly. I've received an undeliverable message recently so I think you entered the wrong email address. Can you try registering again.

Yes, there isn't an Excel facility available yet.

It's ok now
Thanks

* Is there a time schedule regarding excel facilities in Betdaq assistant?

Hi,

We are looking at making a new version for Betdaq to include the Excel functionality instead of trying to bolt on to the existing Betdaq version which was built using Adobe Flex technology because we have decided it will be much easier to do it in VB.Net the same technology that we have used in Betting Assistant.

So instead of trying to re-invent the wheel so to speak we are going to use Betting Assistant as a template for the new Betdaq version which will have Excel triggered betting. We are looking at a timescale of around 1 month or so to complete the work which has already begun behind the scenes.

Regards,
Mark

Arbers take note

Betdaq have their own arbing software imo - I doubt an arb between them and Betfair lasts more than a second.

Ian, yes they seed their own markets with prices taken from BFair but it depends on how your structure your arb

Does this mean we will be able to open 1 instance of BA and access both Betfair & BetDaq ?

Will it be possible to link both through 1 single excel workbook?

If not, can you re-consider? :lol:

This was something I hoped to be able to do and gets my vote too.

Hi,

There seems to be some confusion here.....let me put the record straight....we are going to make a new version of Betdaq Assistant that looks similiar to Betting Assistant and has Excel triggered betting but it is totally separate from Betting Assistant.

We cannot have 1 application that connects to both exhanges as it is not allowed under Betfair's Terms & Conditions. This will NEVER happen.

Regards,
Mark

by **osknows** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 7:56 am

Then would it be possible to link the two outputs through excel without the use of external links? I.e. ability for both apps to write to 1 excel workbook?

by **GaryRussell** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:00 am

If the application is identical to the current Betfair program then it is possible to connect both applications to the same workbook. We will be consulting Betfair on whether we should prevent the program from doing this. We'll get back to you regarding this.

I hope you understand we have to be guided by Betfair on this. If we upset them we are out of business
