Title: sportbook bots
Post by: homerjj12 on February 19, 2015, 04:01:47 PM
Hi All,

Go easy on me as i'm new, but is there such a thing as a sports book bot. A bot where you can automatically place bets on multiple sports?

Thanks!

If there isn't one I would be happy to know if someone has managed to program one.

Wow guys, really nothing out there for this. I guess the dice bots are faster. Seems like a gap to me, I'm going to start researching on how to possibly make one, I'll get back to you guys with the results!

We allow bots and even support it: https://www.fairlay.com/api/

Most of our market makers use bots to fill our orderbooks with liquidity.

However, I am not aware that one of the bots is publicly available.

How can you use bot in a sportsbook? That doesn't sound right.

Hello OP,

Yes, there are many bots for sportsbooks. Usually they're focused on exchange companies, such as betfair, or like our fairlay noted on his post above.

Have used this for betfair: http://www.geekstoy.com/en

But exchange betting is so well managed by big trading companies nowadays that it is hard to make real profits if you're not on their side. They "own" the stats and that's a killer. Unless you're some genius that can beat them at their game (which I personally am not!) :)

Hope this helps.

Betfair is not available for my country. Do you have bots for DirectBet, NitrogenSports, Anonibet etc.?

Confused as well. Most of the sports bets are done, where players think based on game play that they will have an edge or it is a tip by other people.
How would a bot make a bet automatically , when it really doesn't know about the game, and would only know about the ranking.

Some bots are programmed to bet on both sides of a line through live bets.

see now this makes more since.

could program a bot to bet on both sides, this would be an amazing bot. cus underdog odds tend flip both directions during the match after one team takes the brief lead etc...

but how is that possible? betting in sport manage many subjetives variables that I think a bot can't control

That clears it up. So basically, do an arbitrage kind of betting  during the match live, and cover up if you are losing the match.

That's one of better uses I can think of.
Or betting when better side loses a goal.
Bot could be also used to read feed with picks and bet them, selecting bookie with best odds etc.
Bitcoin bookmakers would be best suited for this I think as it could work even with 0 balance on bookies account (auto funding with btc as needed).

Even if it is used for making live bets on opposite sides , why would you use a bot for it ? Wouldn''t you prefer making that bet manually ? as everything else will be selected manually as well.

Err, what?
With bot all you would have to do is to select events for a given day + fine tune betting algorithm used and push FIRE :þ button. Then you could take a nap.
To do this manually you would have to spend whole day in front of the computer and with multiple events chance of missing some bets would be high.

The odds change VERY quickly sometimes. Bots can hit odds way faster than you can click. Plus you wouldn't need to sit there and monitor the live odds the entire game.

maybe to find the best odds on whatever option you would like?

But some sites explicitly forbid bots, and I think no sportbook offers API
