Offering back and lay prices on several runners

[willkirkland]

Hi,

Is there a way to offer back and lay odds on each runner via an Excel spreadsheet please?

Yes.

You can back and lay on multiple runners and in multiple markets simultaneously in Excel whilst requesting or offering what odds you like.

Thanks for the reply and link, will check some of those out later on. Much appreciated.

I've had a good look and picked up a few tips but still struggling to work out how to offer back and lay prices on runners at the same time.

You could open up 2 separate instances of BetAngel.

You could do that but two instances of Bet Angel and two instances of Excel would be awkward to manage and consume resources such as memory fairly quickly. Not to mention the data charge risk.

I would look at using offsetting. If your spread is the same each time then you could trigger just outside the money and set the offset to place the bets x ticks apart.

If you want to use specific and/or dynamic spread values you could write a macro to place a BACK instruction, clear the cell then replace with a LAY instruction. Might not be simultaneous but it would be very close.

Offsetting may work, thanks for both replies. Not capable of writing a macro to do that yet!
