Not seen it before, and I wasn't prepared to risk lumping on a huge arb in case they voided the market or something...
Backed 6.3 ish on BF and layed 2.3 on BedDaq
The first three runners on Betdaq were all trading around 2.0
Something went wrong with something... and surprisingly not many layers were taking advantage, but the races are quite tight for time today so maybe a lot of people skipped that race or something.
Guaranteed profit of £9 if it won, 50p if it lost...
Guess which it did... lol
Hey Cran, I remember reading a while back that you get data from RP, Betfair site et al. Can I ask, are you scraping the data? Don't worry if you don't want to give the game away.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to adapt a C# API project I downloaded from Betfair so I can get the silks info but my request returned SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE_IN_PRODUCT so it looks like a no-go for a product id = 82 :(
I have two stats databases/applications, one that monitors prices via the API and one that scrapes horse racing data from RP/PF/BF web sites.
ReplyDeleteThe GetSilks API service is not available in the Free API, but you can get the link from either Racing Post or Betfair web sites.
e.g. http://form.horseracing.betfair.com/horse-racing/140711/Bath-GB-Bat/1750
has the horse number, draw, name, form, silks, days since last run, c/d/cd wins, age, weight, equipment, jockey, trainer, current BF back and lay prices.
You just need to work out the url from the race course and date/time and then you can scrape the silks url that would be returned by the BF API in the full version...
have you considered site scraping for that info Mets? You can put through a single call to http://uk.site.sports.betfair.com/betting/api/json/getFullMarketData.do?mi=EventID using the same eventID to populate that info once you call up the market in your app. Not that hard to extract the silks etc as it's all in a regular format and json encoded
ReplyDeleteNice one guys, will have a play with those URLs tomorrow
ReplyDeleteat betdaq you were betting on places while at betfair you were betting on the winner of the race you could have lost both bets.
ReplyDeletelol... that explains it then :)
ReplyDeleteThe daqbot market selection is a bit crap...
