Automated Betting
I have had a little success at placing Quinella bets based on the Quinella odds of each pair compared to the Win odds of the individual horses making up that pair. My starting with a bank of $50 just before Christmas on WA TAB was last night sitting at $545. Not a huge amount of money, but the direction is OK.
I consider ALL horses and trots, and I consider ALL pairings. My method requires that the bet is placed at the last possible moment, so I miss about 20% whch is fine. It is all done automatically - I set the program running in the morning and leave it.
Unfortunately WA TAB Quinella pools are abysmally small and so any increase from my minimum $0.50 bet tends to screw the percentages (really!!). Being in WA I can't look at Betfair (I don't think they do Quinellas anyway), therefore, I have spread my view to other TABs. Last week I started using Queensland TAB as they provide a means to automatically fetch odds and post bets. A little more cumbersome than WA, but it works. My starting $50 was at $94.50 last night. Also as their pools are generally larger than WA's there is scope to increase the bets down the line.
I would dearly love to expand into NSW and Vic, both TabCorp. TabCorp do provide a means to obtain the odds I require, but do not have a readily available means of submitting the bets automatically. I know it is possible as I am told there is third party software which does it.
My question is this: Can anyone here advise me, or point me in the direction, of where I might find this information?
