Hi

Has anyone developed a column that can be included in the Guardian list of columns that has the ACTUAL current time of a football match?

I find that when I have many games in Guardian, if I flit between games for a one click screen, the times of the game are not accurate, especially if you know you are joining a game that's already started.

This column would be really useful for keeping an eye on the time for exiting trades.

Not possible to accurately display match time as Bet Angel does not carry this information.

You would have to create something manually that measures time from when Betfair put the match into play, and making an assumption of 18 minute average for half time injury time + break.

I use this file >
(A) Countdown Timer.baf

It’s a generic clock, So it comes with the caveats that James mentioned. The match would need to be in Guardian before the match starts.
The stored value for the column is CDT for the Market.

If you can use simple python, you can get it direct from Betfair or scrape it from Live Score, I only started using python at the beginning of the year and it opened so many doors within Bet Angel, well worth learning a bit.
