Completed Paid on delivery

Objective: to place football bets via an API using information in a supplied file.

Details:

1. Poll a folder for a new file:

i) The polling rate needs to be set, i.e. every 1 second

ii) The times the polling occurs, i.e. from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm - outside of these times no polling or bet placement will occur

iii) The folder to be polled needs to be set

iv) The file, once processed, needs to be moved to another folder

Note: file is supplied in .csv format

2. Use information in file to place bets - the information in the file will be:

i) Date of event

ii) Home and Away teams of event, i.e. Arsenal, Chelsea

iii) The bet type: back or lay

iv) The bet selection, i.e. Chelsea

v) The football bet type: i.e. Asian Handicap +0/0.5, Win, Under 2.5 goals

vi) The odds, in decimal format

vii) The stake, i.e. £200

Note: all bets must be in GBP

Note2: if further information is required in supplied file, please let me know

Software (GUI):

- Needs to include boxes for Matchbook login and password

- Needs to include a box to set polling rate, in seconds

- Needs to include tool to set the folder paths - for new and processed files

- Needs to include boxes for times (To and From) when software will be polling and placing bets

- The above needs to be saved, except Matchbook password

Important:

- Relevant Matchbook API documentation will be supplied

- APIs can be dangerous, therefore only apply for the work if you have relevant expertise and experience

Additional details:

- If a bet is not matched it must be left on [login to view URL]

- If a bet is not found, it needs to be placed in a log file called 'Bets not found' with time stamp at end

- One additional piece of functionality is the ability to output events from Matchbook - this could be provided in a separate window we can copy and paste from, or in a downloadable output file. In short, we just need details of events. For example:

* Date of event

* Competition, i.e English Premier League

* Home team, i.e. Chelsea

* Away team, i.e. Arsenal

- We will not consider applicants that have copied and pasted their work history without directly responding to our concerns and requirements.

- We would prefer the software to be coded in VB or c#

- Source code must be provided once project has completed

Many thanks,

Mike
