UselessBettor, Do you use a program to run this type of betting?

I have used Gruss for a number of years and find with the excel interface that it is the best software out there.

The Ocho, there are 2 main reasons why simulation mode is a waste of time, the first you have seen as betfair don't like the data consumption with out bets being placed.

The second is that the results can be misleading as the software can show results even when a bet was not able to be matched, this can be the same as if a person was back checking how the fav performed in particular races using the TAB because you need time to place the bet and the fav can often change in the last 30 seconds.
