New user - daft questions perhaps?

[Golfman]

Hi all,

Just found this programme by accident and it looks ideal for what I want. I am pretty adept at excel (not so much VBA) but I have some 'newbie questions'.

1. How do you setup the link between an excel spreadsheet and the Betting Assistant and get it working?
2. Is there a way of obtaining data from Betfair and simulating bets, i.e. a Training/Learning mode (I know there is a risk of charges)?
3. Does this programme work with the new Betfair API-NG?

Thank you in advance for any help, always gratefully appreciated.

Hi all,

First question was 'daft' as there is an excellent demo video showing the excel link up which I have just found.

2. No.
3. They are working on it.

Thanks Milfor
Why no training mode anyone?

Gruss has never had a "training mode" to my knowledge.

Training mode ? why bother when you can fire in bets via vba at 1p a time, or just simulate - and not enter bet type / stake / odds requested - just record what the market could offer at the time you were planning to fire the bet in.

However - just recording odds is not something to extend for several months for every race as BF will close your account

Thanks Fixador,

I guess I'll have to search the forum for the vba to fire in 1p bets!
Probably in the excel samples, haven't looked yet.

I have more questions, will post a new thread

Correct. Best training is the actual thing but with only a small amount.
