ba.placeBet() - COM call - can you place multiple bets?

[Coolhand22]

ba.placeBet() - function call through the COM server in BA

Is this function only capable of placing one bet?
Do you have to just use this function consecutively to make multiple bets?

The latest beta allows upto 60 bets using placeBet. You can't mix back and lay on the same runner though.

Does it?
Ooh I didn't know that. Is there a link anywhere that explains how to do it?

Below is a simple example for placing 3 bets

Code: Select all

Dim WithEvents ba As BettingAssistantCom.ComClass

Private Sub Example()

    'Setup array for 60 bets
    Dim refs() As String
    Dim selecIds(59) As Long
    Dim betTypes(59) As String
    Dim odds(59) As Double
    Dim stake(59) As Double
    Dim tokens(59) As String
   
    If ba Is Nothing Then
        Set ba = New BettingAssistantCom.ComClass
        ba.keepbettype = 1
        ba.tabIndex = 0
    End If
   
    'Example 3 bets only on same selection (selecId 0 = row 5)
    selecIds(0) = 4
    selecIds(1) = 4
    selecIds(2) = 4
   
    betTypes(0) = "B"
    betTypes(1) = "B"
    betTypes(2) = "B"
   
    odds(0) = 500
    odds(1) = 600
    odds(2) = 700
   
    stake(0) = 0.2
    stake(1) = 0.23
    stake(2) = 0.24
   
    tokens(0) = "test1"
    tokens(1) = "test2"
    tokens(2) = "test3"
   
    refs = ba.placeBets(selecIds, betTypes, odds, stake, False, tokens) 'async
    refs = ba.placeBets(selecIds, betTypes, odds, stake, True, tokens) 'sync

End Sub

Thanks Os.

So placeBets rather than placeBet.

That may well be useful, thanks again.

Hi,

Please see http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/Betting_Assistant/UserGuide/functions.htm for a complete list of COM functions in the Beta version.

I keep meaning to get to grips with the COM rather than the php I use at the moment. Is there anyway I can just dump the responses to text to see the format within the responses, just it'd make it easier for me to see how the returned arrays are structured. I'm used to the API responses but guess alot of stuff like session cookies aren't returned.

thanks

ps If anyone has a simple COM bot they don't mind sharing it'd be helpful, doesn't need to be a winning one Just something with a few basics like gathering markets into an array and maybe bet placement

When I try to use the function placeBets

I get this error:
"Run time error '438':
Object doesn't support this property or method"

I am using the latest beta of betting assistant.
ver 1.1.0.66x84


placeBet works just fine though
