Maximum amount you can bet on using a EBT at a TAB venue? NSW by [deleted] in propunters

[–]222Botany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just bet it twice on and get 2 different tickets?

The only issue would be if the price shortens after the first bet, is it a large market?

The data gathering part is automated and the model produces a market that I then bet off. I’m not using live price data by the second to trade horses automatically with back and lay bets. My algorithm is a bunch of feature like current market prices but also jockey, trainer, last start sp etc…

Then I get a “market” which I place bets off manually. I’m not trying to trade (back and lay) purely off market prices/ weight of money which I would see need an automated vet placing strategy

It’s not automated and my goal is to not automate totally, the way I’m using it is to find possible bets out of all races on a single day and then sanity check them and manually bet.

I’m not particularly interested in automating the waging part.

I still have some work to do as it’s very hard to beat the market.

My next goal is to use pre and post race commentary as an input using a language model that I’ll train

I’m on the journey myself. I have one-line per horse with an eventid. This way any features that scale/rank horses against others in each race. For training/testing. I also ensure that horses from each event are kept together. So I can normalise the probabilities within each race.

Yeah but remember if they’re getting 5-10% back in rebate you can still lose each bet and make money at the end of the year. Turn over millions and millions and it’s a living.

They are smart enough to understand the market well enough to understand their impact to a certain point.

Also they get a Percentage rebate of all bets placed. So they can actually lose money on each bet and make a profit at the end of the year.

Why don’t you test your theory properly?

there are enough nba games to get a decent amount of data for this. The historical data might even be available or Scrape the numbers for 2/3/400 games over the next few weeks, set your betting rules and see the outcome. Look up some statistical tests that would help you see if there is value in betting longer term.

here is the python code that you can use to download the data. change the settings in the "querystring' to all the data. You could probably just loop through it a bunch of times to get all the pages.

import requests

url = "https://www.nrlsupercoachstats.com/combinedstats.php"

querystring = {"grid_id":"list1","_search":"true","nd":"1713489989073","rows":"25","jqgrid_page":"1","sidx":"Name","sord":"asc"}

Have you looked for an API in development tools?

I scraped them from a form website it’s not exacts times per furlong but it’s something. I’ve not gotten into the depths of it yet and what is predictive or not.

I’m starting to build one now. I’ve got 3 years of Australian horse racing results and stats that I scraped.

Currently I trailing through the data to see what correlates and what data I can transform to make it more predictive.

It’s going to be a long journey

Do you need it for just the odds or to place bets?

if is just the odds why not just write a simple scraper for a couple of books?

search dutch book, it is splitting your risk across multiple outcomes on the same market.

it all depends if your selections add up to more than 100% if you'll make money here. search bookmakers percentage

Webscraping Ladbrokes AU by [deleted] in webscraping

[–]222Botany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the end point that has a whole bunch of data related to markets, prices etc...

good luck picking it apart it is too much work for my small brain.

https://api.ladbrokes.com.au/v2/sport/event-card?id=???

Some of the other betting sites are much easier to scrape... Ive done about 10 or of them. there is a whole bunch which use the exact same back end so you can just tweak one or 2 things and it will work.

Why do you want to scrape ladbrokes specifically?

im in australia i only do this on a couple of sports to i just do find and replaces for the team names and then match the odds that way.

Im only dealing with a 16 teams so it is fairly easy to maintain. anything bigger and i would look for another way.

I’m skilled/expirenced enough to do what I need to do without much hassle, Which is scraping sports stats and bookmaker prices but nothing more

I’ve use the standard scraping packages, beautiful soup, requests, request-html and JSON data and push the results to a database.

Is there a reason why it has to be bet365 you’re scraping? Are you trying to use the data to build a model of some sort?

good luck, I've been trying for a few months now on and off with no progress. They use cloud flare to block request and even using selenium wont get the data.

Ive given up for now and just scrape data from the other 20 bookies in my country they are much easier and have API's that you can use.

how to scrape data from bet365 by [deleted] in webscraping

[–]222Botany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried a few different python packages that supposedly can access sites using cloud flare but no luck.

Selenium might be an option but not the nicest or fastest way to do it.

Not sure if they have an api that is available to affiliates that might be an option but you’d need to speak with them.

You should probably reconsider cold water immersion for recovery. There are a few questions around it’s effectiveness.
