Looks like quantum physics or somethin...
Not sure why overcomplicate things when there are so many websites out there these days with all the data you could use.
Its not like its 2005 A LOT has changed since then. From generic sites offering trap for each track data through sites like racingpost, sportinglife you name it to betfair free pre off data. Grab excell spreadsheet with some moderate skills and you are ready to go.
Scraper + Excell will do the trick.
No need to learn tens of new commands, operators etc and completely new software when you can use a simple scraper, press a few mouse clicks and use a few formulas in excell.
But thats just my opinion.

A bit fun offtopic.
I checked last 5-6 pages here:
"This is his market and I personally applaud his success, "
"I applaud mf's success in greyhounds,"
" Please keep posting your p+l reports, "
"I'm happy Memphis is making money "
"let's hope it keeps up for Tom he's put the work in"
Guys. Please. Stop it.
The cringe level reached way beyond 100+ book percentage.

It's not over complicated it's simplification. Websites change, usually with no notice, and that means doing maintenance to a scraper , this is zero maintenance and clean data which is important when time = money. I didn't want to learn it either, boring pain in the arse, but an hour a day over a month or two is no big deal if you put your big boy pants on. This is gambling, a few hours for the chance of another tenth of a point seems like value. It's only getting harder pizza, you've gotta run to stay still.ilovepizza82 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:04 amLooks like quantum physics or somethin...

In Aus they get video webinars on how to leverage API to improve ROI. In the UK we get live chat asking us what an Exchange is.

They also get this in Australia, dont make any sense why there is nothing similar in the UK given the number of dog races.

Betfair UK obviously doesnt give a toss about its customer base.

Betfair Aus have really gone the extra mile, with the models for Horses, Greyhounds & NBA. Think they even have their own YT channel giving details from things like BA software to creating your own data models... they even had Peter on there, which is something Betfair UK don't seem to be interested in.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 3:36 pmThey also get this in Australia, dont make any sense why there is nothing similar in the UK given the number of dog races.

All Betfair UK are interested in is suspending/closing peoples accounts.
It’s time for a new exchange so we can all close our Betfair accounts ourselves and shaft them.
I want Betfair UK closed down and their directors flogged in the street while we throw rotten tomatoes at them.

Relatively good dog ratings with this AUS BF site and I downloaded them for about 3 months...didn't work for me because some days they don't post them and of course depends on if one is up late to load the races, do one's stats and or if one then wants to include the races in Guardian.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 3:36 pmThey also get this in Australia, dont make any sense why there is nothing similar in the UK given the number of dog races.

They have a great YT channel with some guests who are expert modellers and like to concentrate on automation. Kerrin is very keen to spread the word

Agree totally though, why UK BF doesn't do something similar.

I guess you didn't watch it, KG explained that in the first few minutes. The reason it's been opened up is because consistantly profitable people pay lots of lovely commission.
