Oh, I didn't know betfair had an API, that's interesting. Do you know if there exists an open source implementation for any languages, or do you roll your own?

- bainsfather 12y agoMaybe https://github.com/betfair/API-NG-sample-code https://github.com/betfair/API-NG-sample-code is a good place to start? Also: https://developer.betfair.com/ https://developer.betfair.com/ http://forum.bdp.betfair.com/ http://forum.bdp.betfair.com/ I was careful about using someone else's code for handling my money! So I used basic example code that I understood (I no longer remember where I got it, sorry), then extended it. From various forums etc, there seems to be a big pool of people doing this sort of thing. Also, from the betting market dynamics, you can see there are other algo traders - watching the in-play betting on soccer matches is quite amazing - the bettors work with such small margins and big volumes, 'predicting' the game in real-time. Most impressive.
- hucker 12y agoThank you very much. This looks like an interesting market to experiment with :)
