BA Locked up on the main sheet today.

Postby Happy Harry » Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:05 am

Came home today to find the main sheet locked up with Canterbury Race 3 market not properly loaded and bets not placed. Which would have won. The other sheets seemed to all be ok and the only way I was able to unfreeze that worksheet was to choose a much earlier race in the day, click on it in the quickpick list and then it all unfroze. The Log for the race is below and this is the first time that I have seen something like this for quite a while. Almost as though the API froze on that particular sheet.

Here is the error log for the race.

Now I have spoken to Betfair since posting above. They are saying post the upgrade on Monday this week that other people with Gruss are having problems and they are advising to delete Gruss and reinstall.

Currently running version 1.3.0.40 so that advice sounds a bit drastic and not something that I particularly want to do as my settings might be lost. Thoughts?

Thanks.

We are investigating the freeze issue. It may be streaming related. You can try it for a while with streaming disabled. Untick PS and OS at the top of the screen.

Uninstalling and reinstalling will not remove your settings.

Just for interest the TO and SL are already not ticked. Both crosses yet the log might indicate that the the API is streaming regardless of the settings in those tick box's? not sure so a question.

Hi,

TO and SL are Tick Offset and Stop Loss respectively.

To turn off streaming you need to tick on the green ticks next to PS and OS.
When they are red crosses streaming is disabled.

Mark

Confusion reigns. Those are also crossed. So four boxes. All crossed. And all crossed yesterday.

Sorry for the confusion. All my doing.

Hi,

With streaming disabled the software will be polling for prices and bets in the same way as it did in the old version.

Mark

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.
