£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
Looking for a bot to place a Lay The Draw bet using Betfair (free) API. Bets will only be made for certain scores (more on this below) and at a certain time. There may be more than 1 score that qualifies for a bet. It may be possible to scrape [login to view URL] to get current score and match time to reduce demand on the Betfair API and associated throttle. If possible this scraping aspect should be in a separate module so subsequent code can access this data via COM or DLL. Therefore as much match data should be scraped and made available as possible. I require only certain leagues to be scraped, but you should be aware of and code for different spellings of league names and team names between xscores and Betfair. Subsequent maintenance of this mapping needs to be easy to allow the application to be used in the coming seasons.

I built a similar program over the last few months for laying bets on horse races. I can send you a demo version of that program if you would like to see it. The review I recieved is at (http://www.freelancer.com/u/adamchapman.html) The experience I gained from building my existing code library would be a big asset to your project - I've learned about the limitations of the betfair API, including data exchange limitations, time synchronisation issues and how to work around them. The lay bets don't match immediately, so in my existing code I have a loop that waits 15 seconds to check if a bet is matched, and replace that bet if it is unmatched. All my code is in a language called "AutoIt", which is similar to Visual Basic. I'd be very interested in discussing your requirement in more detail - for example, the way you will be selecting a game is interesting because there are multiple ways to do it. It might be possible to read information from the game webpage if betfair is open in your browser. Please get in touch if you'd like any clarification from me Adam
