I've got Bet Angel open on 2 different computers, they're running about 10 seconds apart but the time updates automatically, how does someone not so techy solve this?

Thanks Dallas, didn't notice before now. One computer is running a spreadsheet feeding me data 6 seconds delayed to what I'm trading :lol:

Make sure you remember to sync the one giving footie results 2hrs earlier than everyone else to, often wondered how you pulled out some of them results last year :lol:

My computers sync to an atomic clock that's accurate to less than a nanosecond. Problem is, the time it takes to receive the signal means they can still be almost a second apart. :?

If your computers are connected to the same network you could sync one and sync the other to your synchronized computer using the DOS command: NET TIME \\<computer name> /SET /YES

At least then they should be synchronized even if it's not to atomic accuracy.

I also noticed that often if I start computer and with internet connection off, time can be off. idk if its cus the CMOS battery is inaccurate or what but I find myself having to resync every now and then

How are you syncing your pc times Dezzer
