Harvey. If the program contained the code you suggest wouldn't I just remove the offending code before releasing it? If I didn't I would be terminally stupid. It would prove absolutely nothing.

I didnt think when I asked you layit,i'd get this grief from other people.............if the source was open it would be easy to see if you or anybody had any untoward code in it.as would any future updates/installs...........we both know its unusual to give your finances over to a free download.

Last year i was actually going to offer a free open source download to anybody who wanted it,but was prevailed upon not to do this,which saved me as i couldnt code it and would have had to pay someone else...

Basically if its free and available for downloading to anybody i cant see why its not open source,your giving it away,so who cares if people can see the code....who cares if they pass it on,nobody is going to pay someone else if yours is free.

like I said layit,i'm not accusing you,and if you would rather i didnt ask i'm happy to leave this thread.

Probably best that you did leave the thread so that Layit can concentrate on what he does best and not have to answer questions from people like you!
As has been mentioned before, not just to yourself but others as well, if you dont trust it dont download it and if you have got it uninstall it, quite simple really.
It seems to me there are a few people out there with some knowledge that they wouldnt share without payment and are pretty peed off that someone is giving something for free that REALLY WORKS!!!!!!

The simple reason for mine that Layit might wish to keep the program his own is the amount of work he has put in - i'm sure it's already in the 100's of hours if not more.

I use Open Office - it's fantastic to get something of that quality for free and the fact it's open source helped make it what it is - no question. However, it's been open source from day one unlike Betfair Trader.

Gary's done the work if he wants to keep it his own i would fully understand - it's a great program and just gets better and better. If one day he decides to go open source and see what happens so be it.

The key words there being HE DECIDES

As to the security issues - as has been said over and over again - if u don't trust don't use it.

Hmmmm.....I can see Layits perspective and support him whatever his decision is - As has been said many times - what he has done is phenomenal - and all of us who use it have a huge debt to him....

I'm starting to wonder though - could the benefit of making this open source not lead to even more developments/improvements to the software at a faster rate, without asking any more of lay it? (Seriously, we couldn't ask and more of him - he's done more than enough) - there have recently been requests for the book percentages and to back/lay inside the last price - I know I would find both of these additions very useful. I'm sure that there are lots and lots of additions which would be useful, that at the moment we can only dream of!! If it were open source, could this not lead to the development of this even faster?

I am a web site developer (php and asp) and have no experience of VB or interfacing with Betfair - if this were open source however, I would be very interested in working through it, understanding it, learning it and, if I could, developing it. Just a thought........

Open source AND DOT NET all at the same time. That's an interesting combination. I don't dare say anything more prejudicial.

Layit lets you use something he made but thats not enough for you
If you want to know how it works. Learn to program and make your own

Oh dear.

When you said you would never make it open source???????????

If you do all the muppets under the sun will fudgk it up and hammer BF making it only a matter of a short time before BF totally obfuscate the site.

You also said you would never charge for the SW.

Never say never eh

has to be a good software, if there is so much commendation and such a long living thread. at which markets can the software be used? is it possible to use it on in-play-tennis-matches?
im currently only using a tool that refreshes the page every second.
