C# Betfair Application Development - Betfair bot for this week
Posted in Bfexplorer Labs by StefanBelo Tags: BOT
Almost daily I find in my inbox emails asking, is it possible to execute this strategy with your betfair trading software?
In all cases I simply reply yes it can be done, and explaining how to use tools like Bot Exceturor, Trade Opportunity Lookup Service or Execute My Strategy on Selections.
If a strategy, either betting or trading requires additional software development I offer my help in building simple custom bot script or bespoke solutions. In both cases if you are familiar with programming in .net using C# or Visual Basic, you can do it yourself utilizing Bfexplorer BOT SDK, you can even integrate your solution user interface with Bfexplorer PRO, creating your bfexplorer plugin.
Any simple bot scripts I made for free can be found in MyBots folder after installing the Bfexplorer PRO, with the latest version of Bfexplorer PRO you can find there 91 betfair bot scripts.
All those betfiar bot scripts could be used as inspiration when implementing your own strategy, but the problem is that there is no documentation, what actually is not required for software developers as the betfair bot source code is self documented itself, but for common people it would be a good idea to have a betfir bot repository with description of using the bot and its parameters, purpose and test results.
It is clear that such repository would contain just ideas and tested approaches, in most cases maybe it would have nothing to do with profitability, but I think that also such information would be interested for a lot of people.
Therefore I decided to open on the forum category: Betfair bot for this week, where you can post your ideas for simple bot script strategies, at the end of each week I will select the one I will implement and publish an article about it.
The first betftair bot script I build for one Slovak user was LookUpBot script implementing martingale system when betting on favorite on UK horse racing markets. The betfair bot uses 4 just parameters, to set allowed odds range for favorite, required profit at which bot stops its activity on horse racing markets, and time at what backing bet is placed. You can read more about it in this article: Martingale
Here it is the screenshot from my test.
Do not hesitate to post your ideas for: "Betfair bot for this week", maybe the next betfair bot script I will implement will be the one posted by you.
