Quick Help Needed

[tranmerekev]

Hi

It's been a few years since I used Gruss, and with no UK/Ire racing today, I can't test what I want to do.

I'm using the basic "place bets on a selection of horses" spreadsheet, kindly available on here for free.

I just want to confirm if I'm doing it right.

Obviously I add the racing to the Quick Pick List, and set the timer.

In the spreadsheet (Selections sheet), is this correct? The stuff in brackets is what I want to do.

Column A: Horse name (Red Rum)
Column C: Stake (£10)
Column D: Bet Type: (LAYSP)
Column E: Min Odds (1.01)
Column F: Max Odds (10)

I am hoping this will Lay all the horses in my list at Betfair SP no higher than odds of 10, to a maximum £10 liability.

Is this right?

Also, I've looked through the forum, and I can't work out if I have to do anything to the Markets sheet. Do I leave this alone, or is there anything I need to add?


Much appreciated in advance, and best wishes for the Festive Period.

OK, so today's the first time I've been able to use the software, and the bets are being matched up to a point.

I'm loading the markets up one minute before off time, the bets are firing in at SP but Betfair are setting the maximum lay odds at the price they are one minute before the off

So, for example, I'm laying £10 liability and the lay price is 3.8 when the bet is fired, but my bet is a lay at max odds of 3.8, so if the horse drifts in the 60 seconds before the off, it won't get matched.

In the selection sheet I have set the max odds for 10, but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

Is there an obvious/easy solution?

Cheers.
