I access Betfair through the regular website. I have six screens that display different football markets simultaneously for a given match.

In some cases the markets take up an unnecessarily large amount of space. For instance the over/under 1.5 / 2.5 / 3.5 / 4.5 markets could all be displayed on one screen.

Is there any way of doing this using frames or something (with full market depth)?

If I accessed BF through the API viewing dozens of markets simultaneously I take it I would get hammered with data request charges?

Thanks.

Data request charges apply only at fairly high request rates.
So it depends the refresh rate you want. You can see a lot of markets if you don't refresh too frequently.

Using Gruss you could open all the markets on one screen with Gruss running just the once. Probably best not to have your refresh on too quick a setting but throttling in Gruss would mean you don't go over the data charge threshold anyway........at least not for running Gruss just the once on a single user account. Multiple Gruss sessions on one account can be problematic in data charge terms.

So is there a way of doing this through the web interface?

As far as I am aware there isn't one.

It may be worth you asking your question on the BDP forums, as there are quite a few geeks living there, one of whom may know of a way.
