Hi Mate,

You have obviously put a lot of work in and it looks like you have produced something that could be useful. Looks like you still have some way to go before having a commercial product though. Too much cuting and pasting and manual formatting for my liking but I am sure you already know that and will be working to make it less intensive for potential users. For example, the idea of the multiple banks is great but having to manually enter the bank number against each system is a bit tedious and could be acheived using lookups.

Hope you don't mind my comments, just trying to offer up some construcive criticism that ill hopefully help you improve your product.

Best Wishes

Kevin

Hi Dean, was just about to make the same comment about using lookups for the System ID and Back/Lay when I saw Kevin's post. As is, it looks pretty tedious work and open to errors, especially if running a large number of systems.

Perhaps the lookup formulas can be placed somewhere out of the way and then the System ID and back/lay data copied and special pasted to the appropriate cells using a macro. (button)

[laffo16]

thanks for the suggestions guys, the only way im seeing this working at the mo is using the 2nd column which is "Bet Type" as a temporary deposit for the system name lookup, eg the selections are pasted in as "name (tab) system". then execute the macro button, bank id's are looked up, the system descriptions will need to pretty much match in order to find the id's. then the back/lay bet types are inserted from a new static column in the "bank" page into appropiate rows overwriting the temporary system description. would this be ok??

video tutorials will be uploaded in a different format (probably wmv) as they seem to be stopping a couple of minutes in for no apparent reason.

file name extensions need to be enabled for the current release to work. (fixed for next release)

also i made the mistake of including the version number in the description for the download which isn't a good idea when you need to update i'll change this for next rel.

Videos worked fine for me

[laffo16]

yo all, am still considerin how to go about the suggestions made earlier about assigning the BANK ID automaticly, i have a good idea and will get round to this. i was contacted over msn by a fellow who asked me to make a bookmaker bot for him, so i tied the code in and jobs a good'n, their maybe a few more things yet i can add to the bookmaker script book generaly its workin ok. Ive updated all my vids to .wmv format so hopefully no more streaming issues their, and added a 6th part video about the bookmaker feature.

Part 6 - Added a new Bookmaker feature set
http://www.uk-bay.com/gbot/Part-6-wmv.html

v0.88 released

- added bookmaker
- several small changes to code

also note that File Extensions must be enabled. (more info in readme file)

Their are two things i will be workin on next, one in adding the features required by Buddy in the other thread "auto lay s/w - specifying must runners", the main problem of this is that non-runner cannot currently be listed so this is on hold for the moment. The other is to have the script compile a list of all horses and all odds in every race at two specific times during the morning (eg 10:00 & 1:00), then use this data to back or lay the biggest drifter or steamers within a price range.

Many more changes i want to do, the list goes on . ow i think i read that in BA 0.21 you can now update the results sheet from a trigger in Q cell, this is great news and i'll be adding this trigger 4 sure ^^. Any suggestions, ideas or thoughts go right ahead, if your having any trouble getting the thing working, pls let me know.

[laffo16]

Hi guys, has anyone ran the program yet lol come on guys hit me with some feedback! The non-runner call hasnt been implement by gary yet so still waiting on that.

Hi Dean,

I am busy with my own little project at the moment but in the next few weeks when I can concentrate fully on your trial version I will certainly be giving Gruss Bot a run. In the meantime I shall watch your videos.

I can see that GBot has an extensive feature set which makes it very attractive for me, but as GBot needs BA I am curious to know what Gary thinks of your pricing ?

Keep up with the tremendous work and all the best for your success.

Ray

xraymitch & laffo16 same person imo.

Arnold, the above is so not true

I am puzzled why you should even think that - I can only guess it was because of my fullsome praise (have you checked GBot out ) but you don't seem to have noticed my possibly critical question re pricing which incidently laffo16 has yet to answer.

To remove all doubt I give Gary / Mark permission to confirm my identity.

Regards,

Ray

[xraymitch]

thanks for the support xraymitch,

You are very welcome but you have yet to reply re my question about pricing structure.

Regards,

Ray

PS I am surprised you have received so little feedback from other member of this forum.

[laffo16]

i guess their is still alot of work to be done and bugs to ironed out, the spread sheet layout could do with a change, full documentation of the conditions and how to setup the bot as i think this is very much needed, its not very user friendly looking at the mo. i will most likey extend the free trial period from 2 weeks to a month and reduce the subscription to £5/month, hopefully this will help with gettin more response.

i have as of late been helping a bloke called harvy out over msn who was having trouble with a specific excel com function (which basicly caused the bot to crash very early on), think i have resolved it after some work last night but its differcult trying to fix bugs i cant replicate. ive no doubt their will be other critical bugs which need to be attened to.

i will be finishing work for hughsiepops and WhyLoses projects (thanks for your emails guys), but wish to then return to cleaningup some parts of the code which i dont feel i have done justice too.

Hi Dean,

I agree with all of the above and I think giving people a try out for a month is an excellent move ( as BA does for example) I for one will be giving GBot a run at the end of this month.

Please don't be downhearted, as I believe you really have a major work in progress - it just needs polishing

Regards
