Hi,

Would you be interested in connecting to Betfair and automating the betting(paper)?

Would be an interesting exercise!

sidharthrajaram commented 5 years ago

Hey, that sounds pretty intriguing. 😲 Can you tell me more about what you have in mind?

zbanga commented 5 years ago

I was thinking to backtest the predictions and see if they have an edge over Betfair prices. And if they did try with paper trading it. So pretty much download closing odds from Betfair and then determine over the season there is any profit.

sidharthrajaram commented 5 years ago

Oh, got it. Is Betfair the most notable provider of closing odds or are there other providers as well?

zbanga commented 5 years ago

There are other sites but they don't have API connectivity like Betfair does And it would make it easier to backtest the odds on the exchange we are using
