    Automate Bets

    I want to progammatically place 20 to 30 bets per day. Does anyone know of a sportsbook that supports this? I was dabbling with Fairlay, but think I need a sportsbook and not an exchange to accomplish what I'm thinking of doing.

    Betfair still offers an API.

    Pinnacle suspended public access to their API early this year and warned bot users they were no longer allowed.

    Not sure any other straight book offers one to end users.


    Tricky programming and risking breaking rules by using a non-approved solution to do it.

    Try smartbet.io
    I used it some time and it's pretty nice. Only downside is that bet365 acc can get limited fast so I know 2 kind of people who use it: 1. Are changing accounts every time old one gets limited and 2. Type are using like 10 limited bet365 accs and run bot there. With 5eur avg stake they can stake around 50eur per stake. With high volume, making few k automatically is pretty ok some would say. Have not heard people got their funds restricted tho via this platform. Know that people who run their own algos had this problem when bet365 had a big "cleaning" day for algo betting...
    In the end, only safe way would be paying 500eur or something for sportmarket api if you want safe way to automate your bets. Therefore u have access to wide variety of sharps. If you want to automate your betting in soft bookies then you have calculate your risk and reward before even starting to invest time and money to this activity. Hope it helps.
    GL!

    it can be automated separately with programming. If you don't chase steam they probably won't care if you place automated bets.

    This is easily doable but as Optional says it's probably against the terms and conditions of most major books and you risk having funds confiscated. There would be no risk of this using an exchange like Betfair.

    Hey
    I mean beating asian sportsbooks. Otherwise its pretty easy to automate bets there. For example, sportmarket offerst their api for about 500eur and by that you can use a script in .py which automates all your bets and can use all the bookies listed in sportmarket. If you use smartbet only with bet365 then it is against their terms and conditions(like with all other soft bookies) so suggest not to deposit much into bet365 acc when using smartbet or any other bot which automatically places bets for you. Lot of guys just follow tipsters and use 5-10 limited bet365 accounts for that. Basically passive income But yes, ive used smartbet and its pretty nice and good service. Also much better option to use smartbet than to hire a programmer to make your own software for that. Also have not heard that people got their funds confiscated while using smartbet. Hope it helps. GL
