Fastest Tote
 

G'day All,

Could someone tell me which TAB is the quickest for placing bets. I know which is the slowest. I bet 3 runners per race and like to get on as late as possible.

Thanks

Most tabs offer expert betting options...this is a way to place large amounts of bets at one time...the WA tab offer a service where you can upload your bets via text file...it is easy to write a macro in excel to export to the correct format and place your bets in about 30 seconds....the WA tab pool is with super tab

The fastest & easiest by far is TABQ .
One can set up the options menue for multi betting & can be set up to outlay the same amount each time if need be.
It will accept bets right up to exactly jump start not jump time which some of them do .
I have got on sometimes , several seconds after they have actally jumped.

One can taylor it to do Quinellas only or Exactas only ext.

did somebody mention www.racetab.com. (world's worst website)

Thanks Shaun and Bhagwan. I'll have a look at both Tabs. Much appreciated.

Hey bhagwan and Leftfeild
 

How is this done, i logged onto qtab and couldnt find the options menue, could you direct me please.
Leftfeild, i agree with Bahgwan, i use three sites for best prices and find that qtab (unitab) is by far the quickest and most user friendly, i use the nsw tab cause its easier to withdraw funds when i need to, just go to the local three minutes up the road, very handy. The new NSW tab site i believe is the slowest thing i have ever used and the furtherest thing from user friendly.
Lefty, dont laugh, i bet three, four five runners per field also, i have an excel bet sheet which i made (you can tell), it is basic but i use it every day, it combines the four race meets that i bet on and summs all the figures up and shows the out, the in, the POT and profit, when betting multiple horses it can be confusing, this works every day for me and if you set a target in your head, say 100 units profit for the day, you need not calcuate where you are as it shows you at the bottom, as i said, dont laugh im a computer looser. I find it tops because you may be in trouble in one of the meets but ok in the other two or three so there is no need to chase the win in that venue, i use it for place betting during the day and dogs, trots at night dutching three or four. If you want it just post e m a i l and ill ytry to work it out how to send it.
Cheers dingo

Gday dingoboy

as I am an absolute dud with excel, I would be very interested in your bet tracking file... sounds like the thing I need to keep track thru the day.. if you are willing to send please send to the addy at the bottom of this post.. I cannot for the life of me make an excel file that will work... I need all the help I can get and appreciate any given

I too use Excel macros to place bets via WA tab "expert" (he says laughingly). I was wondering if your system carries out the post better than mine currently. I generate my selections in a column in excel and the last macro statement is to copy that column. I then right click in the "expert" screen and paste.

Does your macro actually control the posting to tab? I like to post as close to the off as possible and that would save me a few seconds. If you, or anyone else, knows how to control tab from excel I would be very interested.

Dingo,

To find the Options menu on QTAB after downloading Netbetpro click on Tools then on Options there you have the various betting modes including multibet mode which is what I was after.

Thanks again Bhagwan.

SeeDee....sounds like your's is quicker than mine if your macro copies the contents to the clip board and all you need do is right click and past (is that with just the one right click then paste for all bet selections for that race ) what mine does is copy my bets to text file and formats it so all i do is hit browse on the tab site locate the file then hit upload......i still have not been able to import the prices from WA tab to excel just gives me errors.....what i do is use the prices from ACT TAB these are all bet in to the same pool so the final divi's are the same......i am currently working on a 1 click bet placement program useing an automated windows program....if it works correctly it should log in to the tab and select the expert betting and place the bets for you....you could even set it to watch a race and if the prices were right it would place the bet...and if they were not right it would ignore the race.
