I will check that one out myself also, ty

The reason i use a server is because i can access it anywhere, until a month ago i was also reliant on wifi for my internet, running a server all day to place bets would use up the allowance, i also like to have it all set up and just walk away and work on other projects, running multiple excel sheets became an issue so it is just more for convenience than anything.

I tested watching the races as you described but it was just slow, i am sure there are other options.

Yes i believe that server is physically located in Sydney, so if you were running a Bot for UK races and wanted the fastest access you could have one set up there with everything running, just for those that might want it, honestly don't know if this would be an issue with Betfair and an Australian account.
