Automator bot spec. This request for the complete project has recieved bids which are way above any percieved cost benefits. As a result I am reposting it to see whether anyone would be interested in doing stage one as described for around $200. This stage only requires data to be collected from Betfair, using the free API application, at separate times and doing some calculations to indicate if a bet is recommended. everything else would be done manually. Thanks to all those who responded to the first request and a Merry Xmas to all. ======================================================== A betfair bot is required to collect data at specific times apply some criteria and place a bet if one is indicated. The data is currently from the UK horse racing section of betfair but might apply later to other markets The system rules have been set up in an excel spreadsheet and the system is being operated manually at present. The requirement is to automate as much of the process as possible to save time and effort. The project might be done preferably as a single project or in stages. Stage 1. Collect the data for one race at a time and apply the rules and indicate if a bet is recommended. The bet would then be placed manually. Stage 2. Extend the system to set up the data collection for all the days’ races and trigger data collection and recommendations at the appropriate time. Stage 3. Introduce the automatic placing of the bets. Stage 4. Add an existing staking plan system to determine what stake should be used. Stage 5. Add a database to record results and gains and losses for subsequent analysis.
## Deliverables
The formula for all the calculations are on two spreadsheets using just normal Excel functions. At present one spreadsheet collects the data and indicates whether there is a bet posssible on the Betfair horse racing win or place markets. The second spreadsheet keeps a record of each bet made and calculates the next stake accordingly. This sheet is in effect part of the required database which might capture more data than at present All bets now are placed manually. sent. If an acceptable bid is received I can provide the spreadsheets as part of the source material. It is probable that any program would want to combine the two sheets to make them work together and may wish to dispense with the spreadsheet format by including all the calculations within the program.
