Is the code for the Smartform Single Factor bot in the book, it's doing really well?

The Smartform bot is up as an example which shows it's possible to create a successful bot by using only one factor from the hundreds of variables in Smartform.   The code for this bot is not in the book - sorry to disappoint!

However, the book does contain a few specific bot examples which include a simple bot based on Postdata in the Racing Post, as well as betting on a set of external (Equiform) ratings.

At some point we'll also create a video tutorial and put up code for a robot created from Smartform.  The problem with any specific system which is profitable is that if many folk follow the same example, it will quickly cease to be profitable...  This is one of the reasons why we think it's more useful long term to give out tools and describe methods for creating robots rather than specific systems.
