+John Teacake MVC Posted August 10, 2013 MVC Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hi All, I am naturally curious about this kind of thing, So I wish to present to you something I have been working on. If people are interested I will upload a Beta Version so you can use it for yourself. You will need a Betfair Account. Basically it is an (Football Only for the minute, The code could be easily modified to pick something else) Accumulator picker. If any of you are familiar with betting you will know what an accumulator is. So before This pulls data from the Betfair Exchange. Putting betting on the Exchange does not allow accumulators so this is why I mainly wrote this. This is all my code. All the logic behind my exchange betting is in this to allow a person to manually input the choices here in the "Sportsbook" as an accumulator. However this is not all what you can use it for. It loads in the fixtures for each day, Goes through them looking at the market at the current time and based on my logic picks the most likely team to win, Win,Lose or Draw and displays it in the relevant text box. Any questions feel free to post them here? I am hoping we can get a lively discussion going. I have put a YouTube video to show you how it works. I am running it in Debug mode. The logic is all there it just needs a bit of tweaking and I cannot design a UI to save my life so :-p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKUneg_-_vo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacoe Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Wait... so is this basically designed to take previous stats from recent games to attempt to predict a winner of a football match to make a bet? Also, how successful has it been if so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted August 11, 2013 Author MVC Share Posted August 11, 2013 Good Morning! I have made a few changes over the course of this and this is the FIRST EVER Video I have uploaded to YouTube haha. It was meant as a quick and dirty way to demonstrate it. You can read the text in green which is the Result Picker. The rest of the stuff is mainly for my debugging so I know what the state of the Betfair API is. Its kind of a requirement as a "free" account in Betfair has restrictions. They are totally acceptable for this kind of thing though. No it doesn't use any previous stats from recent games. It looks at the market as a whole to determine the probability direction. http://bdp.betfair.com/?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted August 11, 2013 Author MVC Share Posted August 11, 2013 So I have compiled a very limited Beta. You will need a Betfair Account standard one will do. Sign in with that. I think its compiled against the latest version of .NET. Been a tech site I imagine that wont be an issue for most of you. There is a strange bug with the text box but I think that's VS problem not mine. It works most times sometimes it just craps out. No reason why. Will upload it soon hopefully Edit: You will need to create a txt file in the same directory as the app. Its detailed here. http://forum.bdp.betfair.com/showpost.php?p=253&postcount=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
