Can My System Be Automated?

Question

I have a succesful horse racing system which I currently run manually using information from the Racing Post, I have about 20 criteria that I use and award points too to get an end rating and then form my own betting market based upon these ratings.

I think the majority of the data that I use can be picked up from your database but would like to be able to clarify this and would also like to know if the data can be exported or is there a tool within the program that can be used to form my own ratings based upon the criteria I use?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi - yes, you'd have to say what the criteria are of course, but this should be possible.  Pop us a note via the contact us form or do it on the public forum and we'll try and clarify.

Answer 2

I have an automated system running using the Smartform database so it is possible, it just depends on what you want to do. I've been using a combination of Java to pull the daily prices from Betfair pre-race and then I use R to generate my predictions and send them to my email.

Answer 3

Its all in a mysql database, so it can be exported using any programming language you like. If paying for the monthly updates, it comes with an additional bonus table which gives the betfair IDs of races and horses also, so you could entirely automate everything.
