Hi all - I have a request for any racing minded programmers here:
As you are all no doubt aware, one of the options with betting on Supertab and NSWTAB is the "batch betting option" where you dump a .TXT file onto their website, containing lines of bets like so -
MR-QL-00001.0/8/2/3/2/
MR-QL-00001.0/8/2/3/6/
MR-QL-00001.0/8/2/3/7/
which are then placed on your account. A big part of my betting is done this way, I have programs which create the .TXT files, and I sit in front of my computer manually going onto the website and clicking "SUBMIT BATCH" etc.
This, as it sounds, is tiresome. What I need is an API that automates this process. Essentially, it would just need to scan a certain directory (set by the user) every 1 second or so, and as soon as a .TXT file appeared in that directory, it would log on to the account that the user specified and submit the .TXT file, placing the bets.
For a skilled programmer, it probably wouldn't be a very big job to create this API. So, I am inviting such skilled programmers to contact me if they think they are able to do it. Send me an email, to jmobrien1 at optusnet dot com dot au if you'd like to give it a try. If you want to charge for it, tell me what your quote is, I will leave it open for a week or so and will respond to everyone who emails.
Thanks.
