Even if you had to use two different workbooks, you could still link them using a third workbook using look-ups etc. In order to save commission - as I have a much lower rate 0n Betdaq - I often just manually ask/offer on Betdaq the same as is available on Batfair, so being able to link them and trigger bets on Batdaq would be great.

I will be doing this if I have to but from experience external links are slow, easily broken, error-prone and not always easy to find and fix. The speed concern is my main problem so I would likely only use two workbooks linking 1-1 rather than 3 workbooks linking 2 -1

HI, I have got both Betting Assistant and Bet Angel (BetDaq) linked into one spreadsheet, streaming the odds (for a given selection) from both markets. This can be done with a bit of VB code which is needed to iron out the different layouts of the Betting Assistant and Bet Angel Excel screens. I was just interested in Arbing between the markets but I have only ever run it on the horses. The time where the BF back odds are greater than BD Lay odds or vica versa can last as little as 0.1 sec, which means that the Arb has gone before both bets have been matched. Sometimes they last a lot, lot longer with significant money involved. Bet Angel however is limited because it doesnt load market automatically and when you place a bet that isnt immediatley matched, it doesnt refresh to tell you when the bet has been matched. The other issue is that because you are not trading out of one market you have to keep big balances in both BF an BD. From what I have seen the BD market is generally trying to 'keep up' with BF market. Anyway just my experiences of this to date.

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.
