Back testing

[240Volts]

Good morning

Just wondering if I wanted to test out a automated system I'm trying to develop is there a way I can speed test by doing a backtest on previous races or do I need to wait for an event to happen and gather results that way?

Regards

hi again

If I do run the automation while I'm at work is there anyway I can analyse the days results?
or have I got to watch each event?

Thanks in advance

It depends what you want to analyze. Your results can tell you a lot.

You can backtest on previous races using Flumine.

In principal you could use it but at this stage it's probably going to be too much for you, unless you're a python coder. Then you need to either collect api stream for at least 3 months or buy the pro historic data for about £200/mo.

Practice mode will test the logic of the automation but won't give especially accurate results, that's because your bet isn't actually in the market which might affect how that reacts.

Run it with min stakes for a day, and then use the Betfair bet history download to check your bets.
