Hello everyone, I'm thinking of purchasing Bet Angel to use with a spreadsheet I have created. I used Bet Angel years ago but never looked this side of it. I've been reading around and just wondered whether someone could tell me whether it should be possible to use the two successfully.

I have a column of 5 horse names (one on each row) and would need to pull each ones live odds into the next column automatically. The spreadsheet has a few formulas and other figures here and there which use these odds, then calculates a stake for each horse. Can this stake be used to send the bet automatically from all 5 rows?

It all works in my spreadsheet but I'm not fast enough to keep up with the changes which is why I'd like to use the integration.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, you can do that.

Thanks, and you can control the order it brings the odds in - for example low to high etc?

I'm not sure what you mean by the order it brings the odds in. They can all be updated simultaneously, as frequently as you like. And yes, you can bring in high & low prices.

Thanks Anbell, last night I downloaded a trial and had a good look at it. I now have the Bet Angel spreadsheet with my own spreadsheet of formulas etc on sheet 2 :D I managed to sort the runners on my spreadsheet into price order too.

Only other question is do I have to put the back / lay / stake etc. into the Bet Angel sheet global command area or can I place them in my sheet (sheet 2)?

It's OK I've sorted it all out. I'm all set now, I must say the help guides are pretty poor - lots of mistakes and tiny pictures. But I've coped OK really.
