Excel Triggered Bets in More Than one Event

Postby forum1 » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:53 pm

I made a coupon with 4 soccer games but my excel spreadsheet was able to fire bets only in the first and was just monitoring the other three.

is there a way with Betting Assistant that you can have Excel Triggered bets placed simultaneously in more than one event?

It does work so not sure what you did wrong. Alternatively you can try opening a new tab page in Betting Asssitant for each market and link each tab sheet to a separate worksheet. See the user guide under the help menu and read about multiple markets. Once you have the separate tab pages you select each tab and then choose the Excel link option from the menu for each individual tab.

doing it again now with only 2 soccer games. the first market starts from Row 1 in my Excel sheet and the second from Row 11. The sheet fires only the bets of my Rows 5,6,7 (Match Odds) and it ignores those at Rows 15,16 and 17 of the second market.

description of the first market is at a blue background while this of second at a grey background. when i click on the second game's description it becomes blue, however bets are only fired in the first market.

I think you may be using it in a way that prevents it from working because of a glitch.

Are you selecting "Enabled triggered" bettting from the menu after linking to the spreadsheet? If so it only enables it in the top market. If you don't use this option and instead tick the option in the Excel options dialog when linking to Excel it should work.

Good news is I made it happen once, so I know it can work.

Bad news though, is I've been experimenting with fine-tuning my internet connection, closing all applications other than BA and Excel and restarting, trying different excel file formats (.xlsx .xlm .xls), working on my VBA routine and obviously altering the initial (lay 2 euros at 1,01) commands to something more insightful so that I can't do again.

The Multiple tabs solution (i just failed in one attempt) is of lower priority.

Can you just confirm my previous post does not help?

i've failed both in attempts that I simultaneously logged and enabled triggering bets as well as in other attempts that I first logged and then enabled.

Strange. Try the Beta version and let me know if you have the same problems. It definitely works. There are many users who use Excel without this issue. The Beta doesn't have the glitch I described.

See http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/forum/v ... php?t=6440 for download link.

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.
