Hi there,

is there any way in Bet Angel to auto-save the log file?

I'm trying to improve my record keeping, and the log information is an excellent resource for this, but I keep forgetting to save it before logging out of Bet Angel at the end of the day :roll:

Cheers,

DP

Anyone? I did it again today :roll:

(although I guess I could just make a big sign saying "Save your Bloody Log, Fool!")

We did look to auto save the log but were advised not to do so for privacy reasons. We could look to implement this in a future version though the log does get very big if you are a busy trader.

You can get lots of quality information from the my account area on Betfair if you are looking to use this information for analysis.

Great, thanks for that - I'd been looking at my P&L page which just showed all backs then lays, didn't realise that the account history gave a more detailed view.

Interesting you were advised against a auto-history because of privacy issues, though. I wonder how that compares to the auto hand history records you get on most poker site software?

Thanks again,

I just did a quick test and the log can be selected, copied and pasted. I pasted into both notepad and excel.

Oh, and I made 3p across the book in the process! :D
