laying all then backing

Postby wojtazzo4 » Sun Jun 06, 2010 9:37 pm

hi,

I have to say that I completely do not know programming but know an excel a bit. I read so many post but I have no clue how the excel works together with BA nor dont know how to set up any automated strategy (bot).

My strategy is:
1. Lay all horses in specific markets - e.g. hcap only or mdn, at choosen stake and odds (lets say Ł10 @2.5), 2 minutes before the off
2. if favourite price is lower than 1,8 then dont lay any horse.
3. Some lay bets would be match at lower price than 2.5.
4. Keep unmatched bets in play.
4. If lay bet is matched (fully or partially) submit straight away a back bet with same stake as lay and odd of 5.

Thats it. I'd like the program to place automated bets while I am not at home.

Can anyone help with this?

It can be easily done with Excel.
Please read the helpfiles in BA about triggered betting.
Look to the example Excel files from Gary on this forum.
You can't learn everything in one day, so take your time.
I could help you, but I'm on holidays now and have no access to my own Excel files, because my laptop is stolen!

I thought that its not a 'big job' to set up my strategy. but I am trying to learn it for a week so far and only got a headache :) Really I cannot understand lots of it e.g. how to and exactly where input my formula?
The other way is how to set up excel to place bet on every race or some of them with specified criteria.

I have also tried to input one formula in 'Trigger' column but it didn't work at all.

If you will be so kind I'd be more than glad if you help me with this.
where are you thinking get an access to your excel sheets?

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.
