Good. I've used quite a lot of time to create some good ones, nice to know that I'm not wasting my time. I've heard that some use SAS aswell. I personally find it easier to implement the codes in VBA though.

I only use SAS in a spreadsheet if I'm dealing with terrorist cells.

That was a 5 star reply I am.  Still laughing a half hour later.

To get back to the original question:

I use both Excel formulae & VBA coding in my bot; don't have any background in Python, C++, etc.

Only did a year of basic uni Java over a decade ago - long story short, I apply the excel skills I've built up over the years via an Excel-adaptable bot such as Gruss.

The VBA does the boring, auotmated stuff [cancelling bets/grabbing the next event, etc]; whilst the Excel applies the model's "edge".
