not at all, food for thought in this minefield.

talking of automation using excel i currently -

1. import the field & odds
2. set excel to update the odds at any time frame i choose
3. using simple macros show all market movements, monies bet, etc etc etc
4. filter for my selections & generate a file listing my selections & bet amounts, which then is imported direct to unitab, allowing me to bet a close to the off possible.

other than my initial data entry for form analysis, all of the above takes about a dozen mouse clicks with the only keyboard typing being to enter my account number & password to logon to netbet. also eliminated is the risk of backing no5 instead of no6 because the hands are a bit unsteady the morning after the night before.

price to anyone that wants it - $10k - (just kidding) :smile:
