I'm sure the Excel option would suit most people but i'm sure it will still require some sort of VBA code in the background.
Anyway just my 2cents worth.

I agree Glen,
I could quite easily write a bot to interface with Betfair, but simply, my time is more valuable than wasting it on reinventing the wheel, specially when it only costs about a $100 a year to use something already existing.
Good luck with it, all knowledge gained is good, but I would concentrate on automating the selection process or data gathering
instead, would leave more time to do what's really important.
Good luck
