Does LAYFIELD use the values set up in the main BF Trader rather than the cols in the Excel sheet ? Never used it myself personally.

the probelm only occurs using the LAYFIELD trigger if i use the same formula with LAY as the trigger and then put that in all the trigger colums for the race it quite happily submits all the bets ie lays the whole field for 1.01 at 100 even with a refresh rate of 0.5

The problem only seems to happen usinf LAYFIELD and it appears to try and back using the odds if the back odss filed and stake on the main trader display (top left)

If thats the case it should have taken the Lay odds off the main sheet which I have set at 1.01????

any ideas

I'll see if I can kcik off bets when the next market goes in running. It's supposed to lay from the values in the O and P columns not the main program.

Next market CSKA Moscow v Unicaja 5:15 as far as I can see

sorry guys still at work had to attend a meeting

My Trigger (col N) is :-

=+IF(AND(Back!Q5<>"",E2="In Play"), "LAY","")

My Odds calulation (Col O) is :-

=ROUNDDOWN(Back!S5-0.8,2.2)


Basically I back a horse and then I am looking to lay a horse at .8 less than my back matched bet !


Hope that helps!

Layit, I know of one person who, while experimenting - with Excel I believe - has had his bank wiped out. I wonder whether it is possible for you to allow the program to use Betfair Play For Fun, www.playbetfair.com, which would make it possible to develop spreadsheets without risking real money. I don't know whether the pages are to the standard format or not, but it would be worth a look, I think.

I may have answered my own question here....I think if I change the Back!Q5<>"" to Back!S5 > 0 that may solve it....i.e don't put the LAY order in until the bet is matched!!!

sorry Guys if I wasted any of your time!

RogerL what I do when I am testing is to move my funds to exchange games / Poker so it is not available to the software!

Toma, Thanks, not quite sure I understand that, but I'll pass it on, I expect they will.

Somebody back me up please. I am getting complaints that the program is too slow to place bets in running. I am trying to explain that there is a deliberate delay imposed by Betfair. Is anybody experiencing delays beyond the norm?

I can't seem to find what the official delay is for horse racing. Anyone know?

IanP. LAYFIELD uses the odds next to the trigger, it doesn't matter which selection you put it against, but only put it once or it'll trigger multiple times.

Layit - I think the official delay is one second.

I've been experimenting with your program, and haven't experienced any extraordinary delays that I can't explain. I've been triggering from Excel, and the delay between the LAY cell being triggered and execution appears to correlate to the refresh rate I've set in your main prgram.

Layit, the only problems I have experienced with your software is of my own making!!! I Trade UK horse racing in running everyday and have experienced no problems with response times.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to put a timer on the bet placement. It may give people some reassurance.
