Hi guys,

Can anybody enlighten me as to why i cannot get this sheet from the examples section to work?

All i am wanting to do is list all the horses i want to back/lay and for the sheet to fire the bets in at the specified time before the off! I have the trigger in aj5 set to Y and the time before the off set to 60 sec? When it reaches this time, Nothing gets fired??

Has anyone got any ideas as to why its not picking up the selection? All are spelt exactly as the are on betfair?

regards

jmini

Basic q, when you connect BA to your spreadsheet (via that page that pops up), have you remembered to tick the 'Enable trigger betting' box on the page (that pops up)?

I only ask because I made that mistake early doors.

Hi, Yes this was the first thing i checked, I have tried using another spreadsheet that i fond on one of the threads that lets you put the specific horses names in and i am having the same problem?

I am really at a loss as to why it wont recognise the runner and fire the bet?

thanks for your reply.

Which horse racing markets are they? If they are not UK or Ireland then it's probably because you haven't entered the full name as it appears on Betfair. The UK/IRE markets do not include the race card number in the name, but the other countries do.

For example GlPk (AUS) R8. The name should be entered as "3. Scot Bay", not "Scot Bay"

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.
