Does automated betting with spreadsheets work in practice mode?
I've linked a spreadsheet to Bet Angel, but it's not firing in any bets.

Practice mode - Using spreadsheets
It seems to work most of the time but its a bit buggy. (doesn't accurately simulate Taking SP, sometimes doesn't fire and freezes at 'PLACING' (in Excel status bar) for reasons unknwn. Check your Excel spreadsheet and see if there's any thing in the status bars when it doesn't fire.
I'm not aware of any bugs and we don't seem to have had many reported. SP it always going to be tricky because we can only infer what the SP is by waiting for it to be resolved by Betfair.

I usually place BACK bets followed by LAY at the off (Take_SP). That should be a fixed liability (as calculated by Betfair), but practice mode seems to give me the same stake for lay as back (for $100 Back, it uses $100 Lay as well - Not how the real SP works. But I realize SP is pretty tricky.
