Moving to next quick pick race Q:2

Postby delboy123 » Fri May 08, 2026 8:28 pm

New to using Gruss so still learning especially the Excel integration.
How is everybody handling cycling to the next race once one has finished? Currently I have VBA code monitoring cell F:2 and once it shows Closed, enter -1 in cell Q:2. It works 75% of the time, but sometimes I can check in and it will be sat on a race that closed a while ago with ‘Closed’ in F:2. But nothing has fired and I can’t figure out why. It just fails to cycle to the next race.
Sorry if this has already been discussed. Had a browse through the forum but couldn’t find an answer

I don't use excel but maybe it's something to do with which 'Auto Select Markets' been selected? Just a thought.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but as no-one has answered it I thought I'd jump in.

In the Worksheet_Calculate routine I start a timer when the race goes in play. I also set a boolean public variable, RaceHasStarted to True. After all the betting code I then check if RaceHasStarted is True, Range F2 is = "Suspended" and the timer is greater than than 5 seconds in order to get clear of the In Play Suspended event:

Code: Select all
If (RaceHasStarted = True And .Range("F2") = "Suspended" And Timer - StartTime > 5) Then


Hope this helps.

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.
