Implementing a custom bot. Guidance for a beginner..

Posted in Bot programming by maonj

Hi Stefan

Is there any documentation about the SDK, e.g. tutorials, getting started, API docs, that will help me better understand how to write custom bots for my needs? I've watched the video screencasts but I'm still not clear on what all the different classes do, and what the difference is between MyRunnerBot and MyMarketBot. I've also had a look through the sample scripts but none of them do anything like what I require:

Specifically, I want to write a bot which will place initial bets just before an event begins and then continuously monitor changes to the event (e.g. in-play live scores and live market odds) and make new bets, adjust bets and close bets according to my custom rules throughout the game. So the bot also needs to keep track of when the game begins so I can leave it running long before the game starts.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Speech API and Betfair Bot SDK

    Is it possible to use Speech API for writing bots for audio alerts?

    You can use anything when building your bot assembly, so whatever you reference to your code, your bot can use.

    Bfexplorer PRO already offers two bots for alerting: Selection notifier, Event notification. In the Bfexplorer BOT SDK project, have a look at on the classes: SelectionNotifierBot, EventNotificationBot and how it uses text to speech, or playing wav sounds.
