Excel Question From Newbie

[drewrell]

Hey all

I am trying to work out the formula to automatically place a lay bet 2 minutes before the start of the race (on my selection)

Is there a template for this somewhere or can someone kindly post how this can be done.

My excel skills are average.

Thanks in advance

Take a look at the Auotbetting feature on the alpha version as that seems to be able to do what you're looking for without the hassle of using excel sheets

You can now download the Alpha version from http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/Betting ... /setup.zip

To use the new auto betting feature:
1. Select Auto Bets from the Auto betting menu.
2. Click on the event name and select the required event.
3. Choose your selection from the drop down list
4. Enter your stake and min and max odds that you will accept (the odds are initially populated +/- 30% best odds
5. Change the order start time to the time you want to start monitoring the market (default is 10 minutes before the event start)
6. Select the update period (default 1 second)
7. Choose Back/Lay from drop down
8. Enter criteria for placing bet
9. Click Activate button

Chase Odds: if you selected to bet at best back/lay price then on each refresh the bet will be updated to follow the odds (eg. if you selected 'best back price plus 5 ticks' and the odds were initially 3.4 your initial bet would be placed at 3.65, should the back odds drop to 3.35 then then your request will be updated to 3.60)

Replace bet in play: When the market goes in play and the bet has lapsed it will be placed again at the same odds.

Note: Below minimum stakes are not yet supported by this feature.
You can add as many auto bets as required using the 'Add auto bet' button.
Auto bets are independent of any markets you have displayed, in fact you don't need to have any markets displayed

Sorry forgot to add. I bet mostly on Australian races.

Autobet is only for UK.

Ignore last comment.

Told you I was new

Thanks

Auto bet doesnt automatically load runners in Australian races is this correct or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

There is a bug preventing auto bets working with Australian markets. I will fix it in the next release which may be a few days.
