It means it couldn't get a bet ref from the placement request. What it then does is compare the list of bets for the market before the placement with the latest list. Any new bets it finds it will log in the bet ref column. Usually it's when the bet placement times out. Did a bet ref appear in Excel?

Pops up where? Does an actual popup window appear or do you mean it appears in the black bar at the bottom of the Betting Assistant window? Does the problem persist if you restart Betting Assistant?

I've just restarted BA, and the same message appears in the black bar, the bet ref is now saying pending.

It can only display this message if it's trying to log the bet ref. It will only do this if it triggers a bet so it must be that as soon as you link to Excel your spreadsheet is triggering a bet. I don't know why it's failing to log the ref though. It cannot be something that is affecting everyone otherwise I would have had many reports by now.

Can you send the diagnostic log. It's named BA_Diagnostic.txt and is located in c:\temp\Betting Assistant Logs. Please send it to admin@gruss-software.co.uk

Think I might have sorted it. I was trying to place a number of bets on the correct score for tonights match, but the trigger was set on BACK-IP.
Changed it to BACK, and it worked. :lol:

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.
