find it deeply suspicious that when I try to bet the price suddenly plummets. After looking at it steady for five minutes without it changing.

As for someone like me always a small punter /mainly for fun

Don't bother now with horses unless big meeting
as everytime a bet showing etc 9.00 you submit and it go's to 8.8
in running it goes to 8.00 trying to get you to move to lower odds

Also in other markets you may get on at say 1.77 in cricket/tennis
as soon as you are matched1.78 pops up instantly without the delay

That is why small people like me are disappearing as no point wasting time
like we did years ago.

FFS this comes up regularly on general betting. Remove the bots and you'll have less liquidity than Betduck.

Did you ever think that "if you can't beat them, join them"?

I staggered onto here, a good few years ago, on the advice of one of my team!

Later he did talk about bots, but it took me almost two years to get up to speed.

The thing is that all this stuff is available for us, but accepted that to take full advantage you need to be proficient at "Excel" with some apps!

Have to admit that I'm clueless in that area but, even without that, the bots are indispensable for those who bet in play.

No way can anybody calculate a price, and stake, in the blinking of an eye, without some assistance!

I run three apps, and usually with two instances of one of them, into different areas of the same event.

The only thing to be wary of is "Data Charges" for more than 20 per second and "Transaction Charges" for more than 1,000 per hour.
These can be crippling, and particularly for "Data Charges"!

Having said that, if your level of betting is in the big league, you can just write them off as another business expense.

I want to see the books scrambling around on ere and quackbet with their 30k arbs without the help of bots. If not, when the bot goes haywire i want paying BETTYFAIR... I haven't forgotten..

The cross-matching bot of course should be sent to Venus ye coonts..

Bots are only offering and laying odds  (albeit in an unfair manner ) - beat bots at their own game - they don't have a brain   Happy
