My bets are being settled for 0. Why?

Postby Scouser51 » Wed Aug 13, 2014 7:59 am

Hi I have been getting to grips with the software for the past few weeks and finally took the plunge last night and entered some small bets. Can somebody explain the screenshot I have attached. Seemingly the back and lay bets have been filled but the bet was settled at 0. If the lay bet was unfilled then my liability would have been -2.00. If the lay bet was filled then my winnings should be 0.38p after tax.

Hope you can help as this happened 6 times last night.

You managed to "green up" but only on the draw. So you only get the winnings when the match ends with a draw.

To receive the same winnings regardless of the outcome of the match you shouldn't use the same back and lay stake.
Your lay stake should have been 2 * 1.77 / 1.57 = 2.25 Pounds. Then your green would have been evenly distributed on
all outcomes.

Thanks Milfor for the detailed answer. Rookie error by myself. Instead of using BACK-T20 as the trigger would BACK-TL20 do the job?

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.
