Clearing triggered bets

Postby rickwakefield » Thu Jul 15, 2010 5:29 am

Hi guys, I'm sure this is obvious or clearly listed in the user guide, but when using trigger bets in excel how do I clear a matched bet in order for the same circumstances to trigger that bet again ie: repeat a triggered bet, do I use BACK-T3-CLEAR in trigger column. I have ticked the clear ref and clear trigger etc when setting up but once in excel the trigger works perfectly but even when all instances are matched ie trigger BACK is matched and my Lay bet is matched ref columns and stake and odds columns remain filled and wont clear.

Thank you
Rick

"CLEAR" is not a trigger modifier, it is a trigger by itself therefore you can only use "CLEAR". It is up to the user to decide when to use the CLEAR trigger, it is not fired automatically.

You haven't exactly said, but I am guessing you want to clear the bet ref when your offset bet has been matched. When you set up the Excel link tick "Offset bet matched flag" under "Additional columns". This will output "Y" to column Y (assuming you don't have any other additional columns selected) if the offset bet has been matched. You can then use something like the following formula in the trigger column.
Code: Select all
=if(Y5="Y","CLEAR","BACK-T3")

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.
