MyBets worksheet

Postby danjuma » Sat Apr 10, 2010 10:11 pm

Gary or anybody please,

Does the E column in the MyBets worksheet return a letter like P to indicate a partially matched bet, or does it just return U or F.

Many thanks.

Haven't used it myself but surely part matched bets would just show the relevant amounts as both U and F with the same bet ref

Not sure myself, as haven't experienced such a situation. Hopefully Gary would confirm.

Hi Gary,

Any input into this? Basically what i want to establish is say I place a back bet of £10 @ 3.5 on a selection and the bet gets fully matched in say 3 chunks of say £5 @ 3.5, £3 @ 3.6 and £2 @ 3.7. How would this be displayed in the MyBets sheet. I need to get the odds and stake matched for a different calculation and I can't get this from the V and W columns in the logging sheet as these will change to the new odds and stake as they are matched (I think, or would they show the average odds and total stake after fully matched, not sure now, have not paid attention :? ). Basically, where is the best place to get the odds (average) and stake (fully matched) - the V and W column in the logging sheet or the C and D columns in the MyBets sheets?

Many thanks.

In the case of a partially matched bet there will be two rows on MyBets for the same reference. The partially matched portion will have status F and the unmatched portion will have status U.

When a bet is fully matched column V does show the average matched odds.

There will be one row on MyBets showing the average matched price. Column V on the main sheet will show the same odds.

Does that mean column V on the main sheet will now show the same average matched price in the one row in MyBets?

Thanks

Yes. It has always done so in all versions of BA.

Gary - this is interesting and relevant to what I'm trying to do. Am I right in thinking that at any one point in time, for a single Bet Reference then MyBets will contain one of three things:

i) A single row with that bet reference, with "U" in columns 5
ii) A single row with that bet reference, with "F" in column 5
iii) At most, two rows with that bet reference, one with "U" and one with "F" in column 5.

We'll often just have (i) closely followed by (ii). I'm interested in (iii). I'm hoping you'll say that if a single bet is partly matched (say four times) there will still (at any one refresh) be one F row and one U row for that bet reference. Over time, the Stake and Odds in columns 2 and 3 of each of those rows will change.

Or have I misunderstood, so that it is possible to have three or more rows in MyBets with the same bet reference?

Many thanks

You are correct. There are only those three possibilities. A partially matched bet will always have two entries, one "F" for the matched portion and one "U" for the unmatched portion no matter how many chunks it gets matched in.

No, on MyBets they never appear with P, this is only in column T on the main sheet. So if it contains P on the main sheet then you will find two entries in MyBets for the same reference.

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.
