Sounds very exciting Puntz :smile:

I wonder if it might be prudent to walk backwards with this objective. There is a myriad of software/Excel ability to handle selection, but the stumbling block (at least for me) is the ability to place a bet automatically with a bookie site, conditional to market price (not their prices). The crux of the matter will come down to these sites allowing bet automation to take place. The fact that they don't offer this themselves is possibly an indicator of how they feel about it. Also, are there any legal/tax implications of automated betting? The other question is if anyone would be prepared to make available to others a module that may be blamed for real-time losses.

Betfair has been mentioned, but my difficulty is that my final selections are based on being under a certain win price close to the jump... and then getting the best possible place div. For my style of betting (fairly boring to most of you I'm sure!) - I find the final market one of the strongest indicators of result. Then getting value for the place makes an enormous difference to my profit.

I will be eager to hear of any progress Puntz.
