Delay to bet placement

Postby vanbuuts » Thu Jun 01, 2017 8:35 pm

Is there a way using Excel that I can delay a bet being fired after its met the criteria by 30 seconds?

My bets are firing and getting matched a lot lower than if it waited 30 seconds for it to stabilize?

TIA

If you know a little VBA it shouldn't be too hard to take a timestamp then fire a bet 30 seconds after. Any reason not to set your odds higher if you think you'll get atched at hgher odds than on offer when you're firing the now?

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.
