Gruss Betfair Assistant Review

Gruss Software’s showpiece is the Gruss Betfair Assistant, this is their most favoured piece of sports trading software. Largely due to the liquidity available within the Betfair Exchange for both pre-inplay and for inplay betting.  As the Betfair Exchange is the largest betting exchange on the planet, this isn’t surprising.  

Betfair boasts excellent market liquidity for every sport A-Z, and also hosts additional betting markets for politics and special bet markets for non-sporting events such as The Oscars, Eurovision, BBC Sports Personality of the year.

While the Gruss betting software may not be as pleasing to the eye as the Betfair Exchange website itself at first glance, users will soon see the advantage of using this alternative betting exchange software to zip between markets and place bets with much more transparency and efficiency. 

Gruss – ‘Bet better on Betfair. Place your bets more efficiently, develop your own strategies.’

Rather than having to confirm bets, or set up hedge out bets and trade outs bets including calculating their amount manually, Gruss Betfair Assistant does all this with a single click!

The Gruss Betfair Assistant software comes at a small charge. This is paid either monthly or yearly, but as we mentioned earlier, it’s available for the first 30 days completely free of charge!

Gruss BETDAQ Assistant Review

Although the BETDAQ exchange doesn’t have the liquidity of Betfair outside horse racing and the greyhound racing markets, users placing bets on those aforementioned exchange markets really shouldn’t see much difference.

Other pre-inplay betting markets popular on BETDAQ are more high profile football matches, tennis, cricket and golf. Most of these markets turn to inplay betting, with the level of liquidity present being dependent on the popularity of any given event.

While fewer markets and events will be found using the Gruss BETDAQ Assistant. Users of BETDAQ may argue that this saves them time, as the pre-inplay and inplay betting markets available are automatically drilled down to the most prominent for them.

Gruss – ‘Place bets more efficiently with the BETDAQ Assistant – an alternative interface to the BETDAQ website.’

While NFL, NBA, MLB, Boxing and UFC are gaining popularity on the BETDAQ exchange, with increasing pre-inplay liquidity. Gruss BETDAQ Assistant is better suited to horses and greyhounds, and bigger events with higher liquidity pre-event.

The Gruss BETDAQ software is however completely free and with regards to functionality, runs exactly the same and has all the features of Gruss’ Betfair Exchange software counterpart!

Gruss Software Automation

Both versions of Gruss Betting Assistant have a COM interface function for Gruss Software automation which allows 3rd party software, or Excel spreadsheets to connect via the Gruss  software to betting exchange markets, and use their API data to trigger bets, monitor market prices, etc.

Gruss Excel Spreadsheet Automation

Microsoft Excel spreadsheets can be connected to Gruss in order to perform calculations against market data and trigger bets derived from the betting exchange API market data. These Excel bet triggers can be created with just Excel formulas, the option to use VBA is also present however. 

There is no limit to the complexity of spreadsheets which can be attached via the COM interface to Gruss Betting Assistant.  The Gruss Software forum has plenty of example spreadsheets available to trigger bets.

The Gruss software forum also contains a sub forum for anyone looking for a Gruss betting trigger developer. Gruss developers are available for the creation of basic spreadsheet triggers to more advanced VBA visual basic application enabled Excel trigger sheets.

Commercial Gruss Excel spreadsheets are available too, which are capable of applying more complex mathematical equations such as MA moving averages, MACD, WOM weight of money, volume, etc. Users wanting to scalp markets automatically may find these very useful.

With a good Gruss developer it’s possible to bring any trading or betting system trigger to life.

Gruss COM interface for Betting Bots

The Gruss Betting Assistant COM connection is required by a number of betting bots for them to connect to, and place bets on betting exchanges. Some of the more popular among these bots come from the following providers:

  • Bettingdev
  • TheBetMachine

Bettingdev has betting bots for just about everything. From inplay betting on football and horse racing, to market movers in greyhound racing, and just about everything else in between. Their most popular being a football betting bot, read our full Soccer Supervisor 2 review, or visit Bettingdev’s SS2 product page directly.

TheBetMachine, whilst primarily being focused on horse racing betting with their own quite complex horse ratings form system builder, and backtesting function, alongside which also features a full racing tipsters and football predictions integration.

TheBetMachine’s football tipsters and racing tips function predominantly requires an additional subscription to a pro tipster, but all resulting bets are placed on the Betfair Exchange or BETDAQ, automatically.

While BettingDev’s betting bot offerings only run on the Betfair Exchange, TheBetMachine will run with either the Gruss Betfair Assistant or the Gruss BETDAQ Assistant trading software’s COM interface connection.
