In the correct score market can we instruct Guardian to say back the lowest price scoreline for a trade say after 60 mins of the game, in other words can Guardian tell what the current score of the game is??

From what I know from previous threads, it is not allowed to report the score of the game. But it is easy to check in Excel: the current score can be found in the line where the spread is reasonably low (say, below 5- this is the treshold that I always use)

Now this is what i mean about new versions comming out, the current one doesnt interest me right now but i would like to see features like this included in guardian, as with a strategy i have i have to do the second part of the trade manually, so when am away from PC ionly make half the value percentage that i can really get, not very good with connecting excell to BA but i am good at writing basic formula,s
Thanks for the info

What do you mean by this are the BA team not allowed to build that feature within or do Betfair restrict them to??

I'm not too deep into this, also not an "insider" to the BetFair and BetAngel policies. But I remember from previous threads that it is not allowed for external vendors (like BetAngel) to provide the current score as a feature. Don't ask me for the reasons, I myself also don't understand it. But the implementation in Excel is straight forward, you don't need any VBA for that.
