I dont want to write anything to place bets or anything along those lines. But Im intested in having ago at writing something to gather data from betfair. What I meen I just want to be able to look at betfair and choose the horse races and monitor the prices, but without the betting. Im looking more towards blackjack as there doesnt seem to be any historical data files. Trouble is betfair seems to lake clues on how to get started. Is this possible with c# and if so could somebody point in the write direction.
Regards Robert

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.
