The problem with releasing this open source and let somebody else update the program: I wouldn't trust that somebody. Until now, Gary proved to be a genuine man, his program helping us alot with no hidden purposes. Hope he decides to help us even more

All others who want this open source, it is supposed that if u know how to make it better, u would know at least how to make it from scratch to where it is. Am I right? So what is the need to know the source code?

Snake Plissken. Don't need your permission.

Snake Plissken. I said I was thinking about releasing the source. I did not say I was thinking about selling it.
</i> I didn't say you was. I was reminding you that you said you would never release the source - like you said you would never sell the programme - then we have "never say never"

Here is our previous interaction to remind you, Muppet.

Layit said

The first part of the trading mode is ready to test. After backing or laying a selection the possible profit you can lock in (according to the current odds available) is displayed and when you click on this the correct stake is automatically layed or backed. The idea is to give the same profit/loss on all selections.


That looks like "automatic bet placement" to me. doesn't it you? Though granted with some manual intervention.

Regardless.

These are perfectly reasonable questions to ask and points to make. I don't have to support or criticise Layit. I don't need his program, so I don't need to constantly suck up to him.

Also, making the point that SW, free or otherwise, would need support is a no brainer but reasonable to make. Some people such as yourself might come to rely on the SW - and if Layit gets busy at work, or goes on holiday he may not have the time to fix it if some issues arise.

My only worry is that if he takes the other alternative and did make it open source as some have requested, then every muppet and his friend would screw around with the source code and this could, for instance, hit site performance.

If Layit screws something up there is only one version which needs to be fixed.

Anyone who is capable of fixing enhancing his code is more than capable of writing their own from scratch.

HTH

Snake Plissken. If you read through the thread you will see that I said I would NOT release the source code to the public domain. I also made the same point that if they could enhance my code then they could also write their own so why bother with mine.

Version 0.91 available. Following features have been added:-

Market percentage is now displayed.

Where odds are blank they are filled in automatically. You can easily see which prices have been filled in because there is no amount displayed under the price. Please don't confuse these with prices that are really being offered.

Arrows next to odds
Use these to change the odds you want to request. The two prices next to the best odds will change accordingly. Once you have changed these with the arrows they will stay fixed and will not update. The best price will continue to update as normal. To release these prices so they are updated normally click on any of the column headings for the prices.

Layit,

Where odds are blank and they are filled in automatically,can this be optional ? The problem with this is in betting in running where you have the REV column ticked and no odds are offered the program automatically puts a 1.01 to back. Likewise with lay, where no odds are offered and the REV column is checked the default odds for lay is 1000. This may catch a few people out.

Brilliant program all the same , keep up the good work.

Top man Layit. Yet another great feature.

Any chance of consolidated bets being displayed? I back in a 1000 a time and if my price gets picked off by 500 people I have huge lists of bets instead of one lump sum at one given odd.

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.
