Just Refreshing Markets in Excel

[LeTiss 4pm]

Being a sports trader, I tend to load lots of markets into Guardian each morning

I have 25 markets loaded into Excel (any more than that & my laptop isn't happy), and I usually sort them by liquidity, but the problem I have is with refreshing

If I leave all markets in Guardian to keep refreshing, Excel misses many opportunities, or seems to not even refresh at all for 2-3mins. However, if I tick the facility for only refreshing a certain time before the off, some of my selections will be excluded.

In the future, is it logistically possible for BA to include a tick box where Guardian only refreshes any markets that are in Excel? If not, any suggestions for overcoming my slight dilemma?

Le Tiss,

What refresh rate do you use. I noticed that the market covered by the one-click screen refreshes at the rate set on Bet Angel and all others refresh at approximate to the Guardian rate, but always slower.

Can you not use a quicker rate - say 1 second. I use 5 seconds for my Under/Over Total Goals markets, and as you say "it seems to forget" about refreshing some of the markets, sometimes for hours at a time.

As I'm only recording data currently it's not so important - however I would speed up when I finally get my spreadsheet to place the bets.

Thanks for the reply Paul,

My refresh rate is the same for Guardian and one-click screen, 500ms

I've even tried a slightly lower setting on Guardian, but even though the markets always update in Guardian they don't always update in Excel.

Hi Le Tiss,

I'm surprised you have Guardian at 500ms, do you pay data charges?

I'm going to test my football markets. I have already tested data capture - recording all changes via one spreadsheet, however I shall begin a test to record via access database.

Do you have MS Access - and if so which version?
