please read the details of the bid very carefully this is the 2nd time the project has been posted and then after a few days the worker has found it too difficult,it is complex I know,
please when you bid give me brief details of how you propose to tackle the project
once I accept your bid I prefer to have daily updates
The project is a Horse racing project to create a database, automatically pull data from around a dozen websites some using javascript, importing data from xls format in PHP, which will be filtered sorted and various calculations done etc and then a website created to publish the end results / ratings where customers can purchase the ratings , the architecture could be based on? PHP - MySQL - Linux. And the application logic could be on ? cakePHP, cakePHP as this a popular PHPframework and is suitable for rapid development cycles. It could have scheduled jobs running ( crons ), which would fetch data from pre defined sources like website, csv, text files etc. These would be populated in an database could be ( MySQL )prefer the database to be web based but i know little about programs etc so if there is a better way of doing the project then I am open to ideas, it is a long term project which needs doing in a format that will last and be updateable easily and simply because i have no knowledge of any programming language
## Deliverables
The project is a Horse racing project to create a database, automatically pull data from around a dozen websites someusing javascript, importing data some in xls format in PHP, which will be filtered sorted and various calculations done etc and then a website created to publish the end results / ratings where customers can amend / purchase the ratings , the architecture could be based on? PHP - MySQL - Linux. And the application logic could be cakePHP, as this a popular PHP framework and is suitable for rapid development cycles. It could have scheduled jobs running ( crons ), which would fetch data from pre defined sources like website, csv, text files etc. These would be populated in an database ( MySQL ) prefer the database to be web based or if not desktop based but able to upload all to website, but i know very little about programs etc so if there is a better way of doing the project thenI am open to ideas, it is a long term project which needs doing in a format that will last and be updateable easily and all the functions, collecting data,results, etc will be automated as much as poss.
I basically am looking for flaws in the handicap where I think a horse will run better or worse than anyone else because of distance, going,weight, jockey, course etc, or I am looking for a horse that is a bigger price than it should be on the form on offer, if you know nothing about horse racing and handicapping this link will help <[login to view URL]> after reading if you scroll down toMore information and then download their Guide to handicapping that tells you as much as possible about handicapping
This is the domain name I have purchased it will then have to go onto a hosted site? ? ? ? [login to view URL]
Would like the website to be a mixture of ? this site ? <[login to view URL]> but not as cluttered, with a live chat if possible and [[login to view URL]][1]? where when you hover over a red triangle it shows you embedded info
Probably need a demo to show customers how site it works
Need customers to automatically be able to register for month free trial then get reminder to subscribe once time runs out and account removed if they don’t subscribe
Customers will be able to pay daily/weekly or monthly for the finalised ratings or per results
Need a link so customers can pay to my PayPal account.
Links /rssfeeds from Betfair, oddschecker, bbc sports , sporting life results, timeform on facebook, twitter ? etc on the front page of the website
Plus a list of recent selections from my ratings finishing position betfair s.p, daily,weekly, monthly, total running total etc, for each individual rating produced,speed, form rating ,adjusted etc
list of horses to follow and reason why and linked to ratings if they are running that day
the horseracing project I need doing ? will collect data from as many as possible of the web sites listed below, there are 3 types of racing in uk national hunt ( jump racing ) flat and all weather ( sand ) and all the data needs to be kept separate the prog will collect? last 6 form ratings ( where there are enough) from horseracebase flat,horseracebase standard,horseracebase speed etc, racing post rpr,OR,TOPSPEED, dataform,formbet and uk racestats, with a way of equalizing the amount going in from each website, for e.g one site may have a top rating of 150 and another 50 for the same race, the absolute top rated in the final ratings column for jump racing would be 190 and the bottom would be 40. For flat and a.w ratings should be between 25 and 140,
and then the same collection of data from sites but ? for speed ratings plus last 6 races speed worked out in mph and compared with the expected speed needed to win past races of the same type, distance and conditions, I have a formula for the conversion into mph, I will try and get a list of racecourses and race times so as to geta comparison for the mph
some of the other calculations ? will be made using? michaelandsimmons , betfair, willhill, to calculate average/expected odds needs a formula made to work out from my end rating what price each horse should be and a comparison? between expected odds and actual odds that highlights the one with the largest discrepancy between odds and expected odds, and a column where the automated winner predictor using past results would go,then a column use bi nominal proposition / standard deviation, weighting of most recent results ( which is to be adjustable probably in % ) but using? my ratings ,with detailed course info from timeform at the top of each race sheet as well as draw info from attheraces? and when you hover over the red triangles it gives you more information
the database? will need to be able to sort that days runners and riders into racecard order, form, speed, draw, sp, course form etc ? at the press of a button
The Betfair and William hill column needs to be real time price changes once logged in showing green or red for shortening or lengthening prices
I need to find some sites that will have draw statistics so we can get an average of the draw stats to put into a column
Then need a separate button to use next day to collect the results of the previous day mainly distance beaten and speed/time of race from a website and compare the actual results with my predictions and then using a formula / algorithm (which needs creating by you )and the % columns from my calculations ? races sheet to automatically back fit / work out what % settings I should have set, to get as close to the race results as possible these will be kept in the database and every time a days racing at that course is complete it would add to the others to come up with a mean setting eg? for each course on different going and distances? then automatically fill into a column next to the actual ratings for exact conditions and best conditions
need a ratings guide and hints like the formbet one on the downloaded file
trainer name highlighted using formbet data
Jockey name highlighted using formbet data
Final rating x impact value in %
On the amended example of ratings chart if you click on any column row 6 it tells you where the data is from if there is a specific location
A sort button where if pressed would show only form relevant to todays going or distance etc

On the Friday the 13th sheet on the races page you will see my end product with all calculations complete row 221 to 233 and row 491 to 501 are best examples of complete calculations.
The other sheet is the blank sheet which shows all the functions of the workbook
Data needs to be collected from some sites are subscription but I don’t want to have to subscribe to get the data it becomes too expensive
Below is a list of sites and log ins? where? I have them and an idea of what is needed from each site

once all the main calculations are done they should be presented to my customers who would need to log in looking something like / be based on a combination of 2 files sat 27th mar andratings ? ? ( but with more columns and my ratings ) all the same functions as the files ? i.e if you move your mouse over a red triangle it gives you more info, then my customer should be able to click on a race time and that race would open in a new window and certain columns in the customer file ( it would not affect the main ratings )they would be able to adjust to go into the final rating so if the ratings in a column were for eg 100,56,87,98,45,87,34,89,66,67,56 and he only wanted 50% of the ratings in that column to go into the final column he could set it so only 50% of that column would go into the end rating on the spreadsheet micky final sheet on the races sheet that columns aprox AG to BD have that functionality so basically the customer gets my ratings then he can amend them to a certain degree if he like
visitor counter
column for expected speed needed to run race
recent form and speed runs weighted in favour and ability to alter weighting
all speed and form ratings need to go through formula in column AX on mickys final sheet before going into total rating
links to the form video’s from attheraces for each horses recent runs
and the same for each horses recent runs on racing uk
