1 - is it possible to do the following and does anyone in here commit these acts :-)
a) Bet into Tatts using a bot?
If the answer is yes, is it possible to bet into Tatts exotic markets?
And is it possible to bet into Tatts using Tatts prices as the trigger?
I am preferably looking for a way to do this using a product I can drag off the shelves and not write myself from scratch. All pleasant suggestions most welcome!

Yes it is possible but not without a custom written bot. I don't bet into the exotics (not that it would be much different to a normal bet) but I use Tatts price as a trigger for some systems. So yes its very possible.

b) Bet into the TAB using a bot?
If the answer is yes, is it possible to bet into TAB exotic markets?
And is it possible to bet into TAB using TAB prices as the trigger?
|
Yes it can be done too.
https://studio.tab.com.au/ You need someone to write you a customer bot to use the API. You will have to get access too.

c) Bet into any of the sportsbooks using a bot?
|
Yes again possible and some are easier then others. Pinnacle has an API but not many of the others do.

d) Bet into BF using prices at Tatts as a trigger? Again, I am interested in a product that does this. Does anyone in here do this sort of thing?
|
Yes I do this every day but with a custom bot.
Quote:
e) Does anyone place automated bets on harness racing or greyhounds?
|
Yes and Yes. Again custom bot.

2 - what products do you use or have used for automated betting?
|
Custom written bots using the various API's available.
Quote:
Any other thoughts on the major automated betting software methods?
|
I don't use them so won't comment on it but I suspect if you are using something others are not using (custom bot) then you probably have an edge right there.

3 - does anyone successfully scalp or trade using a bot? What markets do you primarily do this in? Do you use software to achieve this or is it your own bot?
|
I did before but I found it can be frustrating when only part of your bet gets matched and its below the minimum to reverse out. Once you do this 10+ times a day the betfair police get onto you and complain they will cancel your account.
I could have probably not cared about those ... or only did the back side first and then not worried about liabilities below $30. Thats probably an option and I should go look at it again.
