Are there any web-based in-running products available?

Postby one cool dog » Thu Jan 11, 2007 9:53 pm

I absolutely do not want to take anything away from the product as it is a fantastic bit of kit. However, after having it available for ages I must get rid of it of my laptop as it is not my computer, which I am so gutted about. I can and will use it at a weekend, but I have the chance to make money through my work and do well with it because I am good at what I do.

I do not suspect there is anything that comes close to matching Gary's software, but I just wanted to ask.

I want to make it clear, however, that my preferred method is using Gary's software, but it is just not possible at work.

There is no way I can download any software to my local drive unfortunately.

Doesn't really answer the original question as it's not a web based product. The idea of my site is to promote a free program, not spam other products. I wont delete the post as people can make up their own mind. It looks quite good, I may nick ideas from it and you can only blame yourself if I do :P

Well done Gary.

I for one certainly hope you can steal a few ideas from this software, especially the charts and simulation. It blows my mind how people have the nerve to promote their own software on this forum and ask money for it. If there were more people like Gary in the world we would all be better off! :lol:

Keep up the great work Gary. Once I start making some money from Betfair, hopefully sooner then later I will donate to the further building of your excellent program.

Thanks,

Bob

I am agree with Gary, and I am cheeky for asking.

However, his software has opened my eyes to a new way of making money and I cannot operate without it. My work asked me to remove it from my desktop as it was not part of the software on my computer.

I am completely lost without it now and am going to start losing money rapidly because of not being able to use it.

I have pm'd the guy above for details, to keep it off here, as I am desperate to have some kind of hope in all of this :cry:

I have asked Tagada to let me see his stuff, and surprise surprise it involves downloading something which I clearly stated was something I did not want.

And Tagada, if you are looking in, you are fooling yourself if you think people would pay for yours rather than use Gary's brilliant free stuff. It looks very awkward and the userface looks far too confusing.

for me, i can understand a distinction between 'installing something' and 'downloading something' - downloading an exe file and running it, without installing it, should be ok? do you really need something that can't even be downloaded?

There is no difference is there? Installing something or downloading something are pretty much the same thing aren't they? I was under the impression that most, if not everything, needs a .exe file to make it work if you have it on your local drive.

IT technicians for major companies can see what you install to your computer all the time, and is easily traced. If my computer crashes, they can trace what was downloaded/installed and will blame that, no matter if it was its fault or not. I would rather not lose my job due to installing non-work software. Networks can get seriously affected if something clogs up your own laptop/desktop.

there is a distinction in that some exe files will function just by launching them, but others will need a setup program run first, and that setup program would modify windows as a prerequisite to the program running. The part where the install modifies windows [and possibly f**ks up your laptop] is the reason why IT departments don't like users installing programs, in general. also, if the install process adds an entry to 'add/remove programs', then that is the most common way of IT being able to audit what software is installed on machines, but if you just have an exe file that doesn't need installing, then it will not create an entry in add/remove programs.

the suggestion someone else made of running 'The Discombobulator' from a memory stick should work, without you having to install any software - and if you don't have to install any software, then it should be undetectable unless it causes problems on the work network.

depending on your betting technique, another possible solution is still accessing betfair through your browser, but turning off images and flash, to speed it up - i don't know what the actual bottleneck in using the normal betfair website is for you.

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.
