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

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.

Hi all,
before we go to far, let me just say that.
This dingo programme is not that flash, it does tell me what i have to do and calculates what i said it does however, it doesnt interface with anything externally like tabs (im not that good) and it doesnt have macros, i am working on that.
I will post it below for anyone that wants to have it,....please i am useless in excel but as i said it works for me.
just over type the venue cells, stick in the secection and dollars and the return and away you go,
Hope you all werent expecting too much but i offer what i can!
Thanks lefty, found it !

Cheers Dingo

well i can do that !

Dingo...

Your presentation is much better than mine. Believe it or not, I print out the day's races ON PAPER!. Again I have a macro (cos I'm a lazy sod). I go to WA tab, Racing Info, Today's Races and select all and copy. I click on my macro button and it copies into excel (Special, Text), expands into columns if necessary and deletes all columns except Time, Track, Race and No of Runners. This is then copied into my daily worksheet.

Shaun....

Again with the macro! I copy from WA tab race screen and press my button which pastes into my spreadsheet (Text, Special) and expands into columns. All the details I need are there. If you are interested I can send you a version of the macro I use. It can be adapted if you know your way around macros. If my system pans out I guess one day I will convert it to VB.

As I try to compare lots of data from TAB, I would be very interested in how the interface works. I know it is there because some of the shyster products currently being vilified (quite rightly) on this forum use it. Any information would be appreciated.

Oh, to answer your question, yes I have WA Tab open on two pages one for race details, which I copy and analyse and one on the expert screen. As I said earlier, the last macro statements highlights and copies my selections so I just right mouse once on the expert screen and select paste then press "Log bets". I was interested in your approach in the hope that it would allow me to keep only one screen open and reduce actions by me.

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.
