Had a look at the varied bits of software out there, on the surface they look great.
Being cynical, is there a catch?
I'm aware betfair launched a web service API to manage the amount of traffic they were receiving via BOTs... how does this affect BOT users?
Is it simply a case of purchasing the BOT software, and understanding how to use it?
Cheers guys, much appreciated.

Hi JMWBA
The catch is users must avoid exceeding these limits outlined here http://www.betfair.com/www/betfair/GBR/en/aboutUs/Betfair.Charges/ 1000 transactions in an hour 20/s requests a second If you happen to exceed either of these you will face data charges To keep it simple its best you only use/purchase software with a built-in connection monitor or at least some setting/option to set a limit on data requests a second and betting transaction in an hour. My advice would be to set the bot to a maximum 14/s as sometimes data gets delayed possibly resulting in data spikes. Further to this check the software requirements or you could risk your CPU usage reaching 100% and again possibly creating even larger data spikes when it unfreezes. Hope this helps |

He speaks the truth. This spike that lasted an hour cost me 25 quid
