Bet Angel on a Mac

Would running bet angel on a virtual machine not cause lagging while trading? Especially on a three year old mac?

It does - I far prefer bootcamp

(unless bootcamp is classed as a virtual machine )

.. but I always found Parallels etc did lag (for me)

I have a MacBook Pro running Fusion / Windows 7

And it’s very fast running Windows applications including Bet Angel.

- Intel i7
- 16 GB Ram
- 256 GB SSD

It’s setup to allocate 60 GB of disk space and 6 GB of Ram to Fusion / Windows 7.

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I’ve tried to download the Bet Angel trial on my older model Mac. However I was unable to do this due to the following message

“You can’t open the application “BAP_1_58_0.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX.’

Does anyone know what this means? And how do I overcome this?

It means the Mac operating system (OSX) won't run things designed to be run on a Microsoft operating system (eg Windows), which BA is. OSX and Microsoft are very different beasts, like VHS and Betamax if you're old enough to remember those.

I'm pretty sure there's a workaround but it'll need someone more qualified than me to step in and help in that regard. Probably involves running some sort of Windows emulator on the Mac to provide an environment for the Windows software to run 'in'. Basically a virtual Windows operating system running on the MAC OSX.

I've just set up windows using bootcamp on the Macbook Pro. It was very easy and I can't recommend it enough!

Macbook software is better than windows. After using both I can say mac is better.

I'm going to try Bet Angel for the first time however have a Mac. I'm looking to whether I can find a cheaper VPS as the BetAngel one is like £35 a month? For example can i run a Contabo VPS and run my Bet Angel software on it?

You should be able to run Bet Angel on any VPS, unless that VPS itself has any restrictions to what programs/activities can be done)
But you'll only be able to install the regular desktop version on Bet Angel
The server edition of Bet Angel Pro can only be used on VPS's supplied by Bet Angel

Never heard of these guys, but had a look. They are based in Germany so you would need to add extra to host in the UK, also no Windows included or VAT. So you would have to add all that on before purchasing.

Once you have done all that you end up more expensive than the base level VPS from Bet Angel on a monthly basis.

Hi Lads and Lassies,

As a newcomer to the forum and still an inexperienced trainer, I don't have much to offer, except perhaps on this subject. I have a couple of programs that need to run under Windows my Mac PC and have done so successfully and faultlessly for some time.

The best answer is IMO to use the Bootcamp fixture already inside the Mac OS. All you need to progress is a copy of Windows (I use Win 10) downloaded from Microsoft's website. No need to purchase or load any VM type software at all. Bootcamp makes a new partition on your hard drive; you'll need about 150 Meg which you select as Bootcamp does its thing. It then loads the MS operating system into that space, and that's you done.

On booting up the Mac you select which OS you want to use and away you go. with a clean fault free, stand alone installation, with no glitches or speed reductions.

Initially you don't even have to buy a key for Win 10, it will work quite happily without one. I purchased mine for about £10 off Ebay.

Hi guys! We are in 2024 now...

We recommend using virtual machine software like Parallels to run Windows software on a Mac. If you have an Intel Mac, you can get the best performance by installing Windows in Boot Camp. You can also use Wine via Wineskin or CrossOver Mac, or access Windows software via a remote desktop solution.

Can I use any of these to run BetAngel on my Mac? Any recommendations and experiences?

Cheers

PS. Getting my first Mac ever, that's why I am asking.
