Gathering data on individual bets

[pchaser87]

Hi everyone! Is it possible to gather data on individual bets placed on Betfair? Something like "Time&Series" on futures trading platforms.

Example: Someone places £5 bet on a football match, I gather this information, then someone else places a £300 bet, I gather this information etc.

Thanks in advance!

Bet Angel has to poll Betfair to get the data, so there is no push mechanism like you see in financial markets. This means that it's impossible to accurately work out what bet was placed and for what.

You can build a spreadsheet using the Last Traded Price (LTP) and the change in runner volume cell to give you a pretty accurate tape reading window..but It's not 100%
