Good luck with your development.

Thankyou for that Debug. I'm aware of the rules and how the game is played, but I'm not planning to do anything to infringe their rights. All bets must go through the users account. That is why I said that the user will be responsible for their own API. All I'm doing is providing a user interface -- Something more intelligent that the average web browser. Betfair will ultimately have control. If the user doesn't upkeep the payments on the API then the program can't communicate to the servers and everything stops.. It's all legal and approved by Betfair.. No MI5 Cloak and dagger stuff...
Kind Regards
