Betting Assistant for Betfair

2 . Welcome

Home > Welcome > Introduction

Introduction
Welcome to Betting Assistant by Gruss Software an alternative to using the standard Betfair website interface.

The software is a standalaone program that connects your computer directly to Betfair's API server replacing the need to use a web
browser to connect to Betfair.
Gruss Software are approved Betfair API Vendors meaning that the software is technically compliant and licensed with Betfair.
Betting Assistant has evolved from a basic program to its current feature packed version many of the ideas coming from user’s
suggestions which will continue to be the way forward.
Betting Assistant provides you with the ability to place bets in a number of different ways that would not be possible using the Betfair
website.
Please be aware that this program makes no claims to make you money, there simply is no way to ‘get rich quick’ through gambling.

If you can’t afford to lose then don’t gamble.

It’s important that you understand that Betting Assistant is just a tool that can aid you in applying different betting strategies and
placing bets very efficiently.

We would encourage you to start off with small stakes until you become more experienced.
You are urged to familiarise yourself with the program’s interface, settings and options before attempting to place bets in any way.

It would be quite easy to inadvertently click on an active part of the screen resulting in an undesired operation.
Please take a moment to read through the rest of the User Guide which will explain how to use all the features of the program.

Profiles
Profiles lets you run multiple instances of Betting Assistant at the same time on the same computer, if for example you have more
than one Betfair Username and want to use both at the same time.

Please note that if you do have more than one Betfair account and want to use them with Betting Assistant then each account
requires its own subscription.

By having separate profiles it ensures that each instance of the software has its own settings and preferences and that they don't
interfere with each other.

Or you may just want to have multiple profiles for different betting strategies as each profile remembers the preferences that have
been chosen.

You can add and delete profiles by selecting Profiles from Options in the Menu Bar which opens a window as show in the image
below.

When you first log in you will have the

opportunity to select the profile to use.

However if you open another instance of

Betting Assistant and there is no spare
profile to select from then you will be
prompted to create one as per the image
right.

express payout market where there may be a positive exposure.

The default balance that is shown when you first open Betting Assistant is your UK wallet.

Staking Mode (SM)

There are 3 Staking modes 2 of which affect how the software calculates the stake to be used when placing a lay bet.

The default staking mode when you first run Betting Assistant is 'Stake' meaning that when you place a lay bet the amount used will be the actual stake that you
requested.

However you can click on this in the info bar and it will change to staking mode: liability and click again and it will change to staking mode: Payout.

Click once more to revert back to staking mode: stake

.
In liability mode when you place a lay bet the software adjusts the stake so that the liability you end up with is the amount you originally requested.

And in payout mode the stake is adjusted so that the liability is the amount that the backer will win if the selection wins i.e. the backers original stake plus your
liability equals the amount you originally requested.

This displays the actual Refresh Rate in milliseconds i.e. 1000ms = 1 second.

The figure in brackets denotes the time in milliseconds that it took to get a response from Betfair's API server but applies to polling
only.

When using streaming the figure in brackets denotes the difference in milliseconds between the timestamped streaming data and the time on the PC being used
to receive the streamed data.

It's important to keep your PC clock synced in order for the figure in brackets to be accurate although it should be noted that there is a reliance on the Betfair
server clock being accurate.

Requests
This displays the number of data requests per second that the software is currently making to Betfair's API server when using Polling
for requesting price data.

Previously, you were only allowed to make a maximum of 20 requests per second with requests above 20 per second being subjected
to a Data Request Charge.

With the introduction of APING (Betfair's new API), the Data Request Charge was scrapped.

There is still a restriction which is that you only allowed to make a maximum of 5 price refreshes per second per market.

So you no longer need to be concerned with this, the figure has been left in place for information only.

The figure in brackets displays the number of requests that have been made above the 20.

It is now safe to disable the throttling of excess requests which you can do in Preferences under Throttling.

Keep In Play
'Keep In Play' refers to Betfair's Keep Bet facility.

This is a global option available for markets that are turned in play, so if you have the option ticked unmatched bets will be kept when
the market turns in play whereas normally they would be cancelled.

If you are betting on a soccer market then note that as long as the 'Keep In Play' bet is submitted before 'In Play' the unmatched bet
will survive all subsequent suspensions during the game, however once the market is 'In Play' and you submit a bet using 'Keep In
Play' it has no effect and unmatched bets will be cancelled on any suspension.

Please note when a nonrunner is removed from a horse racing market it is Betfair’s policy to cancel unmatched offers to lay all other
horses in the market if the nonrunner has a reduction factor of 2.5% or greater for win markets, or 4.0% or greater for place
markets.

In these circumstances offers to lay a horse with the 'Keep In Play' option selected will not be cancelled.

Instead the lay odds offered or requested in place markets will be reduced in proportion with the reduction factors of any non
runner(s) and the same will apply in win markets providing the relevant nonrunner has a reduction factor of at least 2.5%.

Please also note that for horse racing markets reduction factors are not applied to 'keep In Play' bets which are matched inplay.

In the event of a late withdrawal, Betfair reserves the right to remove the runner after completion of the race.

In this case any 'keep In Play' bet placed before the off and matched inplay will remain at the original selected price and will not be
adjusted or cancelled as would be the case if the nonrunner were removed prerace.

'SP In Play' works in the same way as Keep In Play except that the unmatched bet's odds will be converted to Betfair SP price rather

Please note that if your SP bet is a lay bet then your bet must have a minimum liability of 10 GBP or the equivelant in other
currencies for it to be accepted by Betfair.

Refresh Rate
There are 2 methods for getting the price and bet orders updated in Betting Assistant.

The traditional method is to request (otherwise known as Polling) new price and bet data from the API server at specific timed
intervals.

The new recommended method is Price Streaming and Order Streaming which allows the software to subscribe to a market and then
the prices and bet orders are automatically sent to the software as and when they change.

Next to Refresh you will see a tick box labelled "Auto" which you can untick if you require Betting Assistant to stop requesting data
for a period of time and this applies to polling and streaming.

Polling Prices
Use the refresh rate to set how often Betting Assistant requests updated prices from Betfair's API server.

The rate is shown in seconds and the minimum setting is 0.2 seconds i.e. 5 times per second.

Please note that it may not be possible to consistently maintain the very fast refresh rates as outside factors may hold up requests,
e.g. poor internet connection, faulty modem, ISP traffic shaping.

The Betfair API itself may become unresponsive which will cause Betting Assistant to appear to be less responsive or even appear to
freeze.

The actual rate being achieved is displayed in the Info Bar

Clicking on the figure in the Info Bar will open a chart showing the response times as per the example image below:

Betting Assistant for Betfair

36 . Betting Assistant Features

The default chart shows the last minute of response times in milliseconds.

You can drag the horizontal slider on the scroll bar to see previous minutes up to the point where the market was opened.

The software will record up to a maximum of 12,000 API calls per open tab page.

Please note that it's not unusual to see some spikes in the reponse times as that is simply the nature of the internet.

The dark blue line represents the actual refresh time whilst the black line represents the response time of the API call.
The pale blue line represents the response time of the API call including failed timed out calls.

You can right click on this chart and export the chart data to a file.

Price Streaming
Order Streaming

Home > Betting Assistant Features > Betting Options > Refresh Rate > Price Streaming

Price Streaming
With Price Streaming turned on the software will ask the Betfair API server to send the price data as and when it changes for the
markets that you have open.

The Stream data is cached and prices updated in the software display at the refresh rate that you have set.

However, there is an option to use "Full Stream" which can be selected from Betting Options.

When Full Stream is on the software will not use the refresh rate but instead will update the prices on screen as and when they
change in the stream.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

Betting Assistant Features . 37

So when you have Full Stream on and the market is not very active there may be seconds or even minutes between refreshes if
nothing has changed, but conversely if the market is very active such as an in play horse race then you will see the prices updating
rapidly even more quickly than is possible using the traditional polling method.

In General Preferences there is an option to set Full Stream on by default which applies when the software is opened.

If you want to use "Full Stream" but find that the prices update too quickly in the display in fast moving markets then there is a
setting in Throttling Options called 'conflation' where you can set a time period in ms to aggregate the incoming data.

If the connection to Price Streaming is lost the PS indicator in the Info Bar will turn red.
The software will try to reconnect after 5 seconds during which time the software will attempt to poll for the prices.

If the connection to Order Streaming is lost the OS indicator in the Info Bar will turn red.

Example: set back odds to 1.01, tick override odds and use in an fast moving in play market such as horse racing to ensure you get
matched at whatever price is available because of Betfair's "Best Execution", as the requested odds will be 1.01 (not suggesting this
as a strategy though!)

Using this option you can back or lay the entire selected market using the odds set in the lay odds/back odds boxes using the stake
that is in the Stake box.

Please note that the bets are submitted straight away, i.e. Betting Assistant doesn't wait for the odds to be reached and therefore if
you request odds that are worse than currently being offered then you will get matched straight away at the better odds.

If you only want to be matched at specific odds that are worse than currently being offered, e.g. you are looking to back at very low
odds when the odds have come down then you would need to set up a conditional bet either using the Conditional Bets feature or
via Excel Triggered Betting .

If you have ‘Cancel remaining when matched’ checked then as soon as a selection gets matched all the other bets that were placed
as part of the back/lay field option will be cancelled.

Please note that if you use this option you must keep the market open so that Betting Assistant can monitor for when a bet is
matched and then cancel the remaining.

If you need to move to a different market after setting this option then you need to use Betting Assistant's Multiple Markets
capabilities.

This will not affect any other bets that you may already have on the market.

If you have other global settings ticked, such as Tick Offset, Stop Loss or Fill or Kill then these will not be used when using Field
Bets unless you have ticked the appropriate box on the right hand side of the Field Bets tab window.

Tick Offset

Tick Offset is a global option meaning that whilst it is enabled it will be applied to all bets that are placed either from the Grid interface
or the Ladder interface.

If you only want Tick Offset applied to certain bets then set a Custom Column where you can include Tick Offset separately.

Using this option, i.e. the tick offset value is not zero, when you place a bet and once it is matched then an opposite bet is triggered
at lower or higher odds depending on whether your initial bet was back or lay.

So for example, you initially back a selection at odds of 4.0, a tick offset of 1 would trigger a lay bet at 3.95 being the next lower odds
that are valid and a tick offset of 2 would trigger a lay bet at 3.9 and so on.

If the initial bet is partially matched then the offset bet is placed immediately using the same stake as the matched part.

The remainder of the initial bet is left in the queue and if it gets matched the offset bet is fired again using the same stake as what
has just been matched.

This process will continue up to the Fill % that you have set in the Tick Offset Options.

So once the Fill % of matched bets is met any remaining unmatched portion will not trigger an offset bet if subsequently matched.

If you tick the box 'Ticks = %' then the offset bet that gets placed will be x percent higher or lower where x is the value that you have
set in the Tick Offset box.

So for example, you initially back a selection at odds of 3.0, a tick offset of 50 would trigger a lay bet at 2.0 being 50% lower odds.

The Auto Level automatically levels the profit across all selections on each offset bet.

Betting Assistant Features . 43

If you are using Stop Loss in conjunction with the Tick Offset feature then once the offset bet is matched the Stop Loss is cancelled
and similarly if the Stop Loss bet gets triggered then the Tick Offset bet gets cancelled.

Please note that if you are using the Excel triggered betting feature then you need to use the appropriate Trigger Modifier to set a
Stop Loss from Excel.

Please see Stop Loss Modifiers.

IMPORTANT: You must keep the market open so that Betting Assistant can monitor the odds once you have set a Stop Loss. If you
move to another market and then come back to the market where the Stop Loss was set you will find that it has been cancelled.

If you need to view another market then you can have multiple markets open, please see Multiple Markets.

Dutch Betting

This option only applies to win markets.

Allows you to place what is known as a Dutch bet where you back multiple selections to achieve a desired profit, so that whichever of
your selections wins (assuming one of them does win) then you win the amount that you have set.

Enter the profit required in the ‘Dutch Profit Required’ box in the options at the top of the application screen.

Check at least 2 selections and providing a profit can be achieved on all selections the Dutch Bet button will turn green showing the
stake required to place the Dutch bet (see example image below).

Click on the button and appropriate stake is bet on each of the selections.

Obviously, you will only win the desired profit if one of your selections wins.

You can toggle between producing a set profit and placing bets adding up to a set liability by clicking on the words ‘Dutch Profit
Required’.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

Betting Assistant Features . 45

You can also hedge your Dutch bet, so if you want one of your selections to be a zero outcome i.e. you don't win but also you don't
lose if that selection wins, then click on the dutch box displaying the amount you would win just to the right of the tick.

This reduces your liability for placing this type of bet.

If you tick the option "Right Click Reverse Bets Only" then the plus or minus offset ticks will only be applied to bets submitted via the
Right Click Reverse bets option that you set in Preferences.

Please note that this feature does not affect bets placed via the Ladder Interface.

Alt Level Profit

Alternate Level Profit works in a same way to the Level Profit column but the difference is that you can specify a number of ticks
higher or lower than the Level Profit column would have used.

So for example, let's say you initially placed a back bet at 5.0 and then subsequently the Level Profit column shows a potential profit
figure that if you clicked on would place a lay bet at say 3.0, you could use the Alt Level Profit to place the lay bet at say 5 ticks
lower (2.90) which would result in a higher profit.

Of course you are relying on the price coming in further so there is no guarantee that you will get matched if you use Alt Level Profit.

In the example above you could also tick the Offset opposing checkbox if you want the ticks to be counted from the best back price
or from the best opposing lay price which would result in a higher price being used.

Tick the Enabled box to display the Alt Level Profit column in the Market Grid.

You shouldn't need to worry about the settings in this window and it is advisable to leave 'Automatically adjust' ticked unless advised
otherwise by Gruss Admin.

Basically, the sliders show the timeout value for prices and bets, i.e. how long Betting Assistant waits before making another request for the data.

Whilst 'Automatically adjust' is set the software will constantly monitor failed calls and adjust the timeout value up and down to the minimum value that you have

Click Apply current settings to entire field and the criteria will be copied to all the other selections in the market, if an entry already
exists for the other selections then a new entry will be added, the existing entry will not be overwritten.

Click Add new entry for current selection to create a new entry for the current selection, the criteria will not be copied.

IMPORTANT: Conditional bets will only be active while you have the market open. If you subsequently change to another
market in the same tab page then the conditional bet will not be retained and therefore never triggered.

If you need to have conditional bets on multiple markets you need to open a separate tab page or create a coupon view
for each market and leave them open.

WOM (Weight of Money)

This is the ‘Weight Of Money’ indicator.

It’s simply a calculation which is the total of the three amounts available to back and lay divided by each other.

If it's pink then it may indicate that the price is likely to go out so you can lay it and back later at a higher price and if it's blue then it may shorten so you can back
it and lay at a lower price.

The grid displays the best 3 back and lay prices (odds) on offer.

Click on a price to place a bet for the selection shown in that row of the grid.

If a box in the prices grid is blank it indicates that there is no price being offered.
Clicking on a blank box will submit a bet request using the lowest or highest odds depending on whether it is a lay or back bet, i.e.
clicking on a blank lay price will submit a lay bet using odds of 1.01 and clicking on a blank back price will submit a back bet using
odds of 1000.

The prices will refresh at the rate shown in Betting Options.

Above the best back price, in the grid column header, the software displays the book % for the back odds and likewise above the
best lay odds.

You can right click on these percentages to sort the grid either by the back odds or lay odds in ascending or descending order.

This is a one time manual sort, i.e. if the odds change such that it would effect the sort order then the grid will not be resorted.

The sort order dropdown box will show "other" to indicate that the grid has been sorted.

Also known as "greening up", once you have matched bet(s) on a market you can hover the mouse over the level profit column
selection to see if there is an opportunity to lock in a profit or loss depending on your situation.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

The column will display the potential that can be taken against each selection in the market.

By clicking on the amount shown the program will automatically place the required bet, however it is important to be aware that there
is no guarantee that you will achieve the profit displayed, the odds may change quickly or there may be not be enough money
available on offer.

In the situation where the bet is not matched or is partially matched then either wait for your bet to be matched or cancel the bet and
see what level profit is available now.

Alternate Level Profit

Alternate Level Profit works in a same way to the Level Profit column but the difference is that you can specify a number of ticks
higher or lower than the Level Profit column would have used.

So for example, let's say you initially placed a back bet at 5.0 and then subsequently the Level Profit column shows a potential profit figure that if you clicked on
would place a lay bet at say 3.0, you could use the Alt Level Profit to place the lay bet at say 5 ticks lower (2.90) which would result in a higher profit. Of
course you are relying on the price coming in further so there is no guarantee that you will get matched if you use Alt Level Profit.

In the example above you could also tick the Offset opposing checkbox if you want the ticks to be counted from the best back price or from the best opposing
lay price which would result in a higher price being used.

Tick the Enabled box to display the Alt Level Profit column in the Market Grid.

Select 'Custom Columns' from the 'Options' dropdown menu to display a pop up window where you can enable custom columns in the grid interface.

In the example image above, you can see the options you have for your custom columns:

Set the Bet Type

The custom column can either submit a Back, Lay or Level Profit bet.

Set the Stake

Set a stake to use for the Custom Column or leave it blank to use the stake from the Grid staking columns.
Leave the stake blank if using the Level Profit option as this will be calculated automatically.

Set the odds

Set the odds to use from the dropdown list.
At the top of the list is 'Current Odds' meaning that the Custom Column will be set to use the best odds being offered at the time of
clicking on it.
If choosing 'Current Odds' then there are additional options that can be applied.
You can choose 'Offset Opposing Odds' where the odds will be from opposite side, i.e. if the column is set to place a back bet then it
will request the best available lay odds and vice versa.
You can also choose to offset the bet request by plus or minus ticks, e.g. if current odds were 2.0 and you put +5 then it would
request 2.10
If you have set the bet type as 'Lay' and are choosing 'Current Odds' you will also see an additional option.
You can choose the option "Stake = liability" where the software will use the stake amount as a fixed liability, so when you click on
the Custom Column with this option the software will calculate the stake required to give you that liability.

Set the Betting Options

It is important to note that custom columns work independently from any global settings that you might have set, so for example if
you have 'Fill or Kill' set in the global Betting Options, 'Fill or Kill' will not be used unless you set it the Custom Column options.
The same applies to Tick Offset and Stop Loss

Betting Assistant for Betfair

84 . Betting Assistant Features

Set the Single Click Option

You can also choose whether or not to verify the bet when clicking on the column.

Enable the Custom Column

Tick the 'Enabled' check box to make the Custom Column visible in the Grid.

Set the background colour

You can also change the background colour that is used in the Grid by clicking on the 'Colour' button.

Give the Custom Column a description

You can put a description in the column header field which will then be displayed above the column in the grid.
You may need to widen the column to see all of your column header depending on how much text you use.

Link Custom Columns

The Master Column dropdown box allows you to chain Custom Columns together.
Leave the number set to zero if you don't want to chain them.
So you can have multiple Custom Columns set and chain them by giving them the same Master Column number (any number apart from zero).
Chained columns allow you to submit bets assigned to these columns in 1 click (as if you clicked on each of the chained Custom Columns simultaneously).
You can click on any of the chained columns to submit the bets from these columns.
Also you only need to have one of the columns enabled (visible in the Grid) to use this option, i.e. the bets will still be submitted from all chained columns with
just one of the columns enabled.

The Sort Order dropdown box allows you to reorder the selections in the grid.

The default option is 'Not Sorted' meaning that the selections will be in the same order as if you were viewing the market on the
Betfair website.

The sort options are Back and Lay prices (being the best prices on offer), selection name, saddlecloth number or stall draw
(applicable to horse racing only) and Total Matched.

Please be aware that if you have the grid sorted on back or lay prices then this order will be maintained meaning that if for example
you were sorting on back prices and the 2nd favourite becomes the favourite then the grid will automatically be resorted to show this.

Also note that when you change markets the sort option is remembered.

a single click.

My Bets Manager
My Bets Manager is an alternative way of submitting and displaying bets and will be familiar to those users who have placed bets
using Betfair's native website.

Whether or not you use My Bets Manager, your bets will still appear in the standard Bets Manager.

The main difference between the standard Bets Manager and My Bets Manager is that there is a section for new bets i.e. bets that
have been made ready but not yet submitted and the advantage here is that you have the ability to submit multiple bets at the same
time from a single click.

To view My Bets Manager click on the 'My Bets' button on the vertical menu bar located on the right of the Market Grid.

To use My Bets Manager for submitting bets you will first need to tick Verify Bets and then click on the My Bets Options button
located on the My Bets vertical menu bar and tick 'Display My Bets when placing new bets' as per the image below.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

Betting Assistant Features . 93

There are a couple of the other preferences that you can tick which give you
Keep Bet options when submitting a new bet or amending an unmatched bet
and for matched bets you can choose whether or not to display average odds.

If you tick the option to display average odds then where you have multiple
matched bets for the same selection, they will be shown as one entry with the
odds being averaged and the profit/liability being the accumulated amount
otherwise each individual bet will be listed.

So having set up Betting Assistant ready to use My Bets Manager click on a

price in the Market Grid and you will see your bet appear on the New bets
section of My Bets Manager.

You can can keep adding bets and when you are ready you can submit them all
in a single click using the submit button located at the bottom of the My Bets
Manager.

Whilst you have bets in the New Bets section you can amend their odds and/or
stake, delete individual bets by clicking on the red cross or indeed remove all of
the New Bets by clicking on the 'Clear new' button.

Also there are buttons for backing or laying all selections in the market which, if
you click on, will use the best back or lay odds from the Market Grid.

The example image on the left shows how unmatched and

matched bets are displayed in My Bets Manager.

When setting new bets i.e. where you are verifying them before submitting, there are additional options where you can set a "Target"
profit or total "Stake" for Back bets and "Payout" or total "Liability" for lay bets.

Also you can see the "What If" profit and loss amounts which will display under the selection names (as shown below).

Betting Assistant for Betfair

94 . Betting Assistant Features

Click on the Target link and a window will open where you can set the Target Profit 'Per selection' or 'Total'
Setting it to 'Per selection' the software will recalculate the required stake for each individual bet to achieve the Target.
Setting it to 'Total' the software will recalculate the stake required to achieve the same Target profit on all the selections, the same
as Dutch Betting.

Click on the Stake link and a window will open where you can set the total stake to use for the bets.
The software will recalculate the stake to use for each selection so that the profit is an equal amount (or as close as possible) using
the total stake amount.

Excel Triggered Betting

Betting Assistant includes an interface to Microsoft Excel to enable you to analyse prices and place bets using triggers from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

We will only explain how to set up the link and which triggers are available and what they do, but we cannot teach you how to use
Excel therefore you will need to learn how to use Excel first before attempting to use this feature.

So to use this feature you will need Microsoft Excel installed on your computer.

The feature supports Excel 2003 upwards.

Please note Excel Starter which is a simplified version of Excel and is sometimes preloaded on your computer will not work.

If you have Excel 2010 "Click to run" version, please read 1. in the Knowledgebase.

First open a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which can be a brand new workbook or one that you have previously worked on and then click Log Current Prices
from the Excel menu on the Menu Bar.

Once the logging has started the link to Betfair is as follows:

The Excel spreadsheet is updated with the Betfair data in real time at the same refresh rate that you have set in Betting Assistant.

On each refresh the Betfair data is updated in the spreadsheet and the trigger column and special trigger cells are read which Betting Assistant then interprets
and takes the appropriate action.

It is important to note that the spreadsheet cannot be read or updated if a cell is being edited or if any VBA code is running in which case Betting Assistant has
to wait until the spreadsheet is available again.

To stop logging to Excel click on the Excel menu and select the "Disconnect Log Current Prices" option.

Triggers
To submit a bet from Excel you must ensure that you use the correct trigger keywords along with odds and stake.

The odds and stake columns (R & S) must be populated before the trigger column (Q).

If the odds in column R are not valid Betfair odds then they will be rounded to the nearest valid odds when the bet is submitted.

Please note that all triggers are in uppercase.

Excel is refreshed according to the refresh rate as set in Betting Assistant.

On each refresh Betting Assistant checks the trigger columns and takes the appropriate action.

If the trigger is to submit a bet then the Bet Ref column will display PENDING until it is replaced with the actual bet reference which should only take milliseconds
to happen unless the bet is being submitted whilst a market is 'in play' where all bets are subject to a Betfair imposed delay of between 1 and 9 seconds
depending on the sport.

Once the bet reference is returned then the Bet Time, Avg Matched Odds, Matched Stake and Profit/Loss columns are also populated.

If the bet is unmatched then the Matched Stake will display 0.

The trigger keywords are categorised as follows:

Error Description
General API error, unlikely but possible.
API_ERROR It would probably mean there was a problem with the API and not
INTERNAL_ERROR Betting Assistant.
UNKNOWN_ERROR It could also mean the request was not formed properly which would be
a problem with BA that needs looking at.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

114 . Betting Assistant Features

You have used the SP or IP trigger modifier, but the market will not be
INVALID_PERSISTENCE
turning in play.
Number of Bet Placement less than 1 or greater than 60.
Typically you will see this if you populate the trigger column but leave
BETWEEN_1_AND_60_BETS_REQUIRED
the odds column blank or the odds column contains text instead of a
numeric value.
All bets not all for the same market. Should not be possible with Betting
Assistant.
DIFFERING_MARKETS
Please report this to admin@grusssoftware.co.uk if you see this error
message.
The market has closed. If you weren't expecting this then the event may
have been abandoned.
EVENT_CLOSED
If the event wasn't abandoned then your trigger fired after Betfair had
closed and settled the event.
EVENT_INACTIVE Market is not active.
Market is suspended. If you are monitoring for the market going in play
and aiming to place the bet as soon as this is detected it is possible
you will get this error as there is an outstanding issue with the API
EVENT_SUSPENDED
where the market can be reported as in play and not suspended, but is
suspended again on a subsequent refresh.
You should place your bet again.
VACANT_TRAP The selected trap is vacant.
The exchange encountered a critical error and was not able to match
BBM_DAEMON_NOT_AVAILABLE
your bet. Your bet was not placed.
ACCOUNT_CLOSED Account is closed please contact the Betfair Helpdesk.

ACCOUNT_EXCLUDED The account has been locked due to selfexclusion.

ACCOUNT_LOCKED Account is locked please contact the Betfair Helpdesk.
Account has been suspended. One reason you might receive this
message is that you have attempted to place a bet on the Australian
ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED
exchange server but your Australian wallet is suspended because Betfair
have not yet received confirmation of your name and address.
Account is pending authorisation. If the PlaceBetsResultEnum is also
CANNOT_ACCEPT_BET, this means that the market is operating under
AUTHORISATION_PENDING
the Tasmanian Gaming Commission rules and the account holder’s
identity has not yet been verified.
SITE_UPGRADE Site is currently being upgraded.
The bet was not placed because the system is calculating your
exposure. This error is most likely to occur when the account is close to
EXPOSURE_CALCULATION_IN_PROGRESS
the exposure limit and you are placing multiple bets in a short space of
time.
EXPOSURE_OR_AVAILABLE_BALANCE_EXCEEDED Account Exceeded Exposure Limit or Available to Bet Balance.
INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE Insufficient available money in the account.

SELECTION_REMOVED The runner has been removed from the event.

The potential loss for the bet exceeds the loss limit for the account (as
LOSS_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
set in your profile on the Betfair website).
The stake is too small at the odds being requested because of Betfair's
STAKE_TOO_SMALL
new rules relating to minimum liability.

Home > Betting Assistant Features > Excel Triggered Betting > Logging Bet Results

Logging Bet Results

Tick ‘Log Bet Results’ and select a worksheet (the worksheet must be different to the worksheet you have selected to log the prices to).

When a bet is matched or partially matched then the program will record the bet reference and when the next market is auto selected from the quick pick list the
bet results will be logged to the specified worksheet.

The results are logged in descending order of the bet reference so that the most recent result will always be on row 2.

The results are obtained from your account statement so it is important you organise the Quick Pick List to allow time for settlement (e.g. log horse race
meetings to separate worksheets and don't select the next race too early as the results are only updated when the next race is selected).

If the bet has not been settled when the results are queried then the result is logged as RESULT_NOT_AVAILABLE.

Note: The amount column represents the amount won or lost, not the stake.

Logging Current Bets

If you provide a worksheet named MyBets then all current bets for the market that are triggered from Excel will be logged to this
worksheet assuming you selected the option when you initially started logging to Excel.

If you are logging multiple markets to multiple worksheets in the same workbook then you must prefix MyBets with the worksheet
name and an underscore e.g. Sheet1_MyBets, Sheet2_MyBets, etc.

When you move to another market the sheet is blanked.

Column E shows the match status and will either be "F" for fully matched or "U" for unmatched.

Logging The Quick Pick List

When you set up the logging to Excel you can optionally decide to export the current Quick Pick List to a separate sheet in the
Excel Workbook.

So for example if you are logging the current market prices to Sheet1 and want to export the Quick Pick List then you need to name
a separate sheet Sheet1_QuickPickList and tick the option.

Home > Betting Assistant Features > COM Interface

COM Interface
Betting Assistant exposes some functions through a COM interface.

You can call these functions from VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) in programs such as Excel, Access and Word.

To use these functions you must add a reference to BettingAssistantCom to your application (in the code editor select 'Tools |
References' and add the reference).

If the reference is not listed then you need to reinstall Betting Assistant.

If you do need to reinstall then it is recommended that you uninstall any previously installed versions first.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

118 . Betting Assistant Features

For communication to take place Betting Assistant must be running and the interface enabled in preferences.

See COM Server Options .

The accept connections IP address must be set to the computer you wish to automate Betting Assistant from which is usually the
same computer (IP address 127.0.0.1).

This is to prevent unauthorised access as IP communication is used over port number 8000 and if this port is not blocked by your
firewall then there is potential for Betting Assistant to be automated over the internet.

Betting Assistant will only accept connections from the IP address you provide.

If you are planning to use the COM from Microsoft Office 64bit version then you will also need to do the following:
Open a Windows Command Prompt in Admin mode which you can do by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard and then type
cmd in the search box.
Then press Alt+Shift+Enter to open as an administrator.
Then enter the following 2 commands:

1. cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
2. regasm /codebase "C:\Program Files (x86)\Betting Assistant\BettingAssistantCom.dll"

Funds available to bet.

Current exposure on matched bets.
Potential exposure if all bets matched.
Total lockedin P&L (Fixed). This is the amount you will win regardless of outcome.
Total open P&L (Floating) at market price. This is the profit available to be taken on current best market prices.
Portfolio value at current market price. This is the total of locked in and floating profit. Click here to place bets to lock in current
floating profit.
Funds tied up as cover for current bets. This is basically the amount deducted from your account balance to calculate funds
available to bet.

Markets
This displays your total position for each market.
The fixed P&L column displays the profit currently locked in on matched bets.
The floating P&L column displays the potential remaining profit that can be locked in based on current best market price.
Click on the floating P&L column to place bets to lock in the profit.
The left column will display a green tick if the market is in play.

Unmatched bets
This displays your current unmatched bets for all markets.

Selections
This displays your current position on all individual selections.
The P&L column displays your profit if the selection wins on top and the profit if loses on the bottom.

2. When green up bets are placed unmatched bets are not cancelled so you will need to manage these.
Each selection is greened up by placing a bet against that selection to achieve level profit for that individual selection.
3. The calculation is not based on the overall P&L in the market. i.e. If you click on "Portfolio value" to green up all markets it is
equivalent to clicking the "Level Profit" column for each individual selection.
There is currently a problem with Asian Handicap markets where bets below minimum stake do not work.
4.
This is an API issue and is being investigated by Betfair.
The summary does not combine both UK and Australian wallets.
5.
There is an option to switch between wallets.

Here is a summary of what's new in version 1.3.0.0:

Major New Feature

• This version migrates from API 6 to APING

• The "Login to website" checkbox has been removed from the initial Log In screen as it is not required with the new API

• Australian wallet transfer option has been temporarily removed and will be implemented later

• "Calculate data requests allowed" removed from Account menu as request charges do not apply in APING
Subscription screen now shows Customer number which is now used when subscribing.
• This screen will also be displayed if your subscription has expired.
The PayPal button will automatically enter your Customer number when clicked.

• Show place market has been removed from the Market menu.
Logout option has been added to the Menu Bar.
• It does exactly the same as closing the Application with the Close button.
When you update a stake it's no longer possible to increase the stake as it's not supported by the API.
• A new bet should be placed instead.
In a later version we will make it place a new bet if the stake is increased.
When "Apply cross matching formula in recognised markets" is ticked in General Preferences it works exactly the same as it did
before.
However when it is not ticked all virtual odds and amounts created by Cross Matching are now automatically included, i.e. they will
• be the same as seen on the Betfair website.
In the previous versions virtual odds would not have been included unless the option was ticked.
If you don't want to know which odds are virtual then untick the option.

Major New Feature

• Dashboard

Betting Assistant for Betfair

270 . Version History

This feature can be accessed from the Account menu. It basically shows the green up amounts possible across all markets you
currently have bets in.
There are four panels:

Portfolio Summary: This displays your available funds, exposure, profit that can be locked in and profit already locked in. Click on
the portfolio value to place green up bets on all markets.

Markets: This lists all markets you have bets on and the profit that can be locked in on that market. Click on the floating P&L
column to place green up bets on that individual market. Click on the market column to open that market in a new tab.

Unmatched bets: This displays all unmatched bets. You can also cancel bets by clicking the "X" column.
Selections: This lists the individual selections, the current P&L for each selection and the potential level profit. Click on the level
profit column to place a green up bet on that individual selection.

Please be aware of the following:

1. The summary is refreshed every 10 seconds.
2. When green up bets are placed unmatched bets are not cancelled so you will need to manage these.
3. Each selection is greened up by placing a bet against that selection to achieve level profit for that individual selection. The
calculation is not based on the overall P&L in the market. ie. If you click on "Portfolio value" to green up all markets it is equivalent
to clicking the "Level Profit" column for each individual selection.
4. There is currently a problem with Asian Handicap markets where bets below minimum stake do not work. This is an API issue
and is being investigated by Betfair.
5. The summary does not combine both UK and Australian wallets. There is an option to switch between wallets.

Betfair Charges
The majority of Betfair customers will only pay commission on net winnings in a market but there are other charges that you should
be aware of.

Please see Betfair Charges for a detailed explanation of the various charges.
Using a Betfair API application such as Betting Assistant it is quite easy to incur some of the additional charges unless your betting
actions are managed.

The charges that you may incur unless managed are the Transaction Charges and/or Data Request Charges .

Data Request Charges

On 14th April 2008 Betfair started charging for data requests (prices, list of bets etc.) when the number of requests per second exceeds 20.

However, with the introduction of APING (Betfair's new API), in November 2014, the charge is no longer applicable.

Transaction Charges

Home > Betfair Charges > Transaction Charges

Transaction Charges
You are allowed to make 5000 transactions per hour before incurring this charge.

See section 7) of Betfair Charges for a detailed explanation.

A transaction is when you place or modify a bet or a failed transaction which is where the bet request has generated an error.

Betting Assistant displays the number of transactions in the current hour in a counter in the Info Bar (as per image below)

The number of transactions is also shown in cell N2 if you are using Excel Triggered Betting .

For the purposes of counting transactions, Betfair use for example 09:0009:59, 10:0010:59 etc.

Betting Assistant for Betfair

Betfair Charges . 273

The count is reset to 0 on the hour eg. if the counter is not 0 at 10:59 am then it will be reset to 0 at 11:00 am.

General FAQ Knowledgebase

Home > FAQ > General FAQ

General FAQ
Why do Betfair impose a delay on some in play markets?

In some inplay markets, timedelays are used to ensure that people are given an opportunity to cancel unmatched bets when a
major event happens, such as a goal being scored.
This delay is also designed to protect customers in the event of broadcast signal delay.

What is the Betfair 2step authentication?

Please see http://www.betfair.com/aboutUs/Security

Does 2step authentication work with Betting Assistant?

Yes, you will be prompted to enter the code after putting in your Betfair Username and Password.

Why doesn't the "Cancel Remaining When Matched" option work?

Either because you didn't tick the option before backing or laying the field or because after you made the bets you switched
markets.
When you switch markets the option is cancelled even if you subsequently switch back.
If you need to go to another market then use the New Page option.
