Are you wanting to place the bet bet manually when watching the race? The stop loss works the same in running as when not in running. The problem is the prices are very volatile in running and your stop loss may not get matched. View the user guide from the help menu, you can read about the stop loss settings there under "Betting Options".

If you are betting in running manually it might be a good idea to add a custom column with the stop loss settings included so that you can place it with one click without having to change stop loss settings before placing the bet. Please give an example of exactly what you want it to do and I will tell you what the settings need to be providing they are available.

Hi Gary , I would like to manually lay, probably just one bet on one horse in each race at varying prices with a stop loss of say 10%. Grid interface . Hope thats enough info . Thanks for your help :)

Hi Gary, that was 10% of liability if thats possible , I usually take any price available when laying in running and tend not to use custom columns but would be prepared to give it a go if required . Thanks

Sorry the stop loss does not have the option to specify 10% liability, it only works with 100% liability at the moment. You have options to specify a number of ticks or a percentage for the price difference, eg. you can specify that if you lay and the price goes down by 10 ticks then place the stop loss back bet or if the price goes down by 10%. The stake can either be the same as your original lay stake or a stake that will spread the loss equally.

Thanks Gary , I did have a tinker with the stop loss yesterday & like you said on an earlier post the inrunning market quite volatile where the get out stake was fired in but not matched . Will try the other options you mentioned over the next couple of days . Thanks for getting back to me . Cheers :)

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.
