I am looking for an automated program that can read betting tips from a basic websites (no flash, etc) and then place automatic bets at Websites I provide you approx 15-20 different websites. The program needs to have the following capabilities:
• Scan betting website every 1-3 seconds for new tips
• Login into Websites when primed or when betting tips released
• Read betting tips from website
• Check account balance
• Check odds have not changed from those quoted on the website
• Calculate bet size according to simple formula
• Check that bet size does not exceed bet maximum
• Place bet within milliseconds of tips released released (speed is crucial as the odds will change within seconds of the tips release and bets need to be made before they change!)
• Create record of all bets in a pre-existing excel spreadsheet / google spreadsheet
• Provide notifications when account funds reach pre-determined threshold
I have no programming experience, so require a little help here.
The tips are released from about 20 different webpages from 10 different website. Webpages require simple authentication, that I can provide.
Bet size will be determined by the following formula:
Bankroll*[Pr(w)*odds-1]/(odds-1) where,
Bankroll is equal to some fixed number specified by me and can be updated easily at any point.
Pr(w) is equal to the probability of the bet winning
Odds are the prices quoted on the tipping website
A few notes:
• Knowledge of betting is helpful but not required. If bidder has no knowledge of betting, then clear instructions will be provided about how to interpret tipping website (not very difficult)
• The program will need to record about each bet and I can include a link to a website later where information is provided that the program we create will need to follow
Possible follow-on project work (not included in this project)
• Add in other websites, e.g. Betfair, Bet365
•
