Hi there, programmer here from the financial/trading field. i know what is arbitrage and how it works in the trading area, i developed several arbitrage strategies most of them unprofitable due to markets conditions in real trading.
i have in my mind since a while to make an arbitrage strategy for sports using different marketplaces and odds. i think there could be 0 risk arbitrage strategies if one have access to enough market places and with an automated system.
an automated system should be checking all sports and games in all the market places looking for this opportunities, the betting itself can be done by hand but the finding should be made by a program.
several betting sites provide API access to their data, some of them require a funded account, some others a request, in other places they just give the API access to everyone.
we can find and have accounts with all the marketplaces we can that provide API, we will be constantly looking for new games and odds until some arbitrage opportunity will display.
also, for markets with no api access we can do web scrapping of the webpage to get the data we need.
in all this and more i want to work in but i don't have the resources, i can't invest the time needed(that will be a lot) without payment, i am a freelancer and live from programs i build to others. my own projects always have to wait.
if you can pay me for my time then i will be very happy to work with you in this subject. please contact me if interested.
