Hello I’m not sure if this project is possible, but I guess there is no harm in asking.
I require a bot to work with Betfair & Sportinglife.com.
Requirements
The bot should be able to monitor the next upcoming race either through the Betfair or Sportinglife websites. Its probably easier using Betfair as they When the race starts I require the bot to read the starting sp from Sportinglife
http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/liveshows/Monday/Day/Course_Time
eg
http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/liveshows/Monday/Redcar_1420.html
This Sporinglife site reports the up to date SP from each track. I need to grab the official SP from the track from the course as soon as the race starts.
The information I require is the first four horses and their SP just as the race has started.
The information I need will pass to either;
a) an excel spreadsheet where I run a macro to determine if there is a valid bet or
b) the information is passed to a subroutine within the code for manipulation.
If this option is chosen I will complete this part of the code when the project if finished
If the outcome is a bet, as reported by either the excel macro or subroutine, I would require a bet to be placed on the favourite horse using Betfair. The bet could be a lay bet or a back bet, in most instances this will be a lay bet.
The complete action would need to take place within a few seconds of the race starting.
Once the race is complete I would need to determine if the bet was successful, this would determine the bet stake for the next race.
On an average day I would expect 3 bets.
I require the application to be written in Visual Basic .Net.
I require a full & complete explanation of the code. I am currently learning VB.net & would require full understanding of the code so I can manipulate or change details later if required.
I would require a test version to run without placing bets to ensure the bot can achieve the outcome I have specified
Needs to run on Windows 2000 & XP
Any question please contact me.
Thank You in Advance.
Gerri
