Hello I'm not sure if this project is possible, but I guess there is no harm in asking.
I require a bot to work with Betfair and Sportinglife.com.
Requirements
The bot should be able to monitor the next upcoming race either through the Betfair or Sportinglife websites. Its probably easier using Betfair. When the race starts I require the bot to read the starting sp from Sportinglife

eg
[login to view URL]
This Sporinglife site reports the up to date SP from each track. I need to grab the official SP from the track from the course as soon as the race starts.
The information I require is the first four horses and their SP just as the race has started.
The information I need will pass to either;
a) an excel spreadsheet where I run a macro to determine if there is a valid bet or
b) the information is passed to a subroutine within the code for manipulation.
If this option is chosen I will complete this part of the code when the project if finished
If the outcome is a bet, as reported by either the excel macro or subroutine, I would require a bet to be placed on the favourite horse using Betfair. The bet could be a lay bet or a back bet, in most instances this will be a lay bet.
The complete action would need to take place within a few seconds of the race starting.
Once the race is complete I would need to determine if the bet was successful, this would determine the bet stake for the next race.
On an average day I would expect 3 bets.
I require the application to be written in Visual Basic .Net.
I require a full & complete explanation of the code. I am currently learning VB.net & would require full understanding of the code so I can manipulate or change details later if required.
I would require a test version to run without placing bets to ensure the bot can achieve the outcome I have specified
Needs to run on Windows 2000 and XP
Any question please contact me.
Thank You in Advance.
Gerri
