conditional bets...help please

Postby MrBug » Thu Nov 19, 2009 6:47 pm

I've tried searching the forum...and failed. Are conditional bets hidden or do they go in the queue with all other exchange users?

With a Conditional Bet set how do you know if your bet is next to get accepted or if anybody else is waiting for the same conditions to be accepted? In other words, and my example, I am trying to lay 5.7 a horse but as far as I know I have no idea or way of telling whether I am next in line to be matched or not. Any help please?

Also if no other user has the same conditional bet and 5.6 is the best to back, and before any of my bet gets matched, a non Gruss user then puts up 5.7 to be laid...does my conditional bet get matched before his?


New boy eh!!!

p.s. on reading this back perhaps I should have just asked...are conditional bets part of the queue or hidden!!

Hi,

Your bet is not in the queue until it gets submitted.

It doesn't get submitted until whatever conditions that you have set are met.

So you set the conditions and then Betting Assistant checks on each refresh to see if they are met and if they are your bet is submitted. Only then is your bet in the queue.

You cannot know if someone else is using similar or same conditions.

Regards,
Mark

Hi,

The other thing I should mention is that you must keep the market open so that Betting Assistant can check to see if you condition is being met.
As soon as you close the market Betting Assistant no longer checks and so your bet will never be submitted.

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.
