Anybody automate betting?

[GameTheory]

Hello,

Does anyone around here regularly automate their betting ala CherryPickr & Automate or any other way?

In other words, let your computer actually place your bets for you while you're off fishing?

I would be interested as to your experiences (methods, which betting service, etc.) and how smoothly this goes...

I believe that Tanda does that.

damn fine question! I have a system that is automated except for one facet--the bet. HOpe you get some to respond

I have the capability to do this but don't use it that often due to my style of play. I originally used automate and it worked ok for simple tasks and wasn't that hard to set up. However, I didn't find it very reliable and I never got it to the point where it could handle more complex bets. If you are serious, you'd probably want to go for a more lower level approach than automate can provide.

Yeah, I was thinking that with a service like BrisBet that only uses normal internet protocols, you should be able to design a custom application that communicates with them directly in place of your browser....

Have u all looked into cherrypicker?

CherryPicker is basically just macros to use Automate. It will work for simple tasks but I wouldn't suggest it if you want to do something more complicated than a win bet here or there.
For more, as GameTheory mentioned, you want to interface directly with your betting service. The complexity of doing such a thing depends directly on their software and the language you write your own s/w in.
