trouble making multiple bets via excel

Postby smugpunter » Fri Feb 20, 2026 6:08 pm

I am trying to place a bet about every one second via Excel and unlike my other VBA scripts the bets dont seem to be going on even though the correct data is in the Trigger,stake and Odds cells.

First thing i need to know is, if setting the Trigger cell to CLEAR cancels any bets that havent been matched yet ( in run OR pre game))

thanks Andrew

This explains the CLEAR trigger: https://www.gruss-software.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5799

Ensure triggered betting is enabled in the Excel connection pop-up.

My problem seems to be a latency issue. Clearing the cells before the bet has been accepted , or betting before CLEAR has had a chance to clear the cells. I'll try making the refresh rate as fast as possible and have to work around whatever delay is left

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
