Can anyone that uses Gruss software confirm whether this is possible please?

Once connected to Betfair can the input of matched bet fluctuations fill adjacent cells in a row for each horse in a race. Much the same as Dynamic Odds display their Flucs?

Then a function can be written to analyse that data, be it % change since Open or Sum of prices etc? Then if a certain milestone is surpassed a bet triggered or option for manual trigger?

Just trying to grasp whether the software is suitable for a particular method.

Cheers

Short answer yes, using excel, you could capture a price every few seconds then compare it to an initial price to see if it has gone up or down, you could even import some bookie prices and compare to that if needed.

Bets can be triggered based on price fluctuations, you could even set flags as to not bet before a set time or below a pool size to avoid small markets.

Cheers for that Shaun. Case closed. I'll move on to the next step.

I'm still doing my research on a suitable product to execute excel connected bets. Not fully automated but triggered manually to place one or more Lay at SP bets. Obviously used to the way you do that on Betfair, but understand that with Gruss and Bet Angel it's different, as per:

You cannot ask Bet Angel/Gruss to place an SP bet directly.

However, you can get around this by placing a bet 'outside of the money' and then set unmatched bets to 'Take SP'.

For example, if you want to place a BACK bet at SP then place the bet at 1000. The bet will remain unmatched unless the market actually hits 1000. Similarly, if you wish to place a LAY bet at SP then place the bet at 1.01. This will remain unmatched unless the market actually reaches 1.01.

Then select 'Take SP ALL' just before the start of the event and your bets will be matched at the Betfair SP.

Has anyone had experience with this, as reading forum posts, it seems this method doesn't guarantee a fill for your order at times. With placing the Lay bet on Betfair directly you're 98% guaranteed of a fill, dependent on size of liability and pool size.

Cheers

Yes you could ask it manually, by adding a macro button in an unpopulated column and click it to send the macro which fills the command "LAYSP" in the Trigger column.

For Gruss Betting Assistant that is.

Thanks for your reply CP.
Are you saying that with Gruss, it acts the same as Betfair, just need to tell it the liability value and selection/s only. Not what the pasted item, I had in my post about, "set odds to 1.01 and take SP if unmatched"?

Fill in the stake (liability) column and fill in odds of 1000, but leave the Trigger column blank.
Have a button in a blank column for each horse which triggers a macro, "LAYSP" Until you populate the trigger field with text, nothing will happen.
So you manually click on the button belonging to each horse you want to lay.
Betfair will give you SP on those horses only. Odds of 1000 merely ensures you get matched at SP.
In other words if the Trigger column is blank, nothing happens regardless of what you put in the other columns.

OK GOT IT!

I've devised a trigger that pastes LaySP in the eligible selections with one click, rather than individual. It was the fact I had to nominate odds of 1000, was my sticking point, as you don't need to do that in Betfair.


Cheers for your help as always.
