Excel coding expert needed for Betfair

Postby Casshern » Mon Oct 29, 2012 4:34 pm

Hi

I am looking for somebody who can code the following into an automated script I can run on betfair -

Back a market at a specific time in running, if totals goals = ?
Lay out of market at another specific time, if total goals = ?

Can anybody help? Will gladly pay for it.

Thanks

Casshern

The most challenging is to get a feed for the current score of the match. You can deduct the score from the CorrectScore market and the OverUnder (both will give you information and can be useful) but you have to be careful. It would be good if you could monitor for market suspensions also and then try to ascertain if there was a goal scored.

You would have to build rules like:
If CurrentScore 0-0 best BackOdds > 500 or OverUnder 0.5 is closed you can assume that 0-0 is not the current score else you can assume 0-0
If OverUnder 1.5 still open you can assume the score is either 1-0 or 0-1 so you can check if the Correct Score 1-0 back odds are greater than the 0-1 and know the score.
Etc.

You can build this kind of rules or you can scrape a good live score feed (you would have to check the odds of the correct score anyway just to be certain).

You have to take further steps if the matched that you are betting are illiquid.
In liquid markets if you make a mistake you don't pay much (you can try to figure if a market is liquid by measuring the difference in ticks between best Back and Lay odds and the amounts available on each side).

It's not very complicated but it would involve some work.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
