You can use any of the supported automatic methods, like http POST/GET, or email to picks@smartbet.io as explained in smartbet.io/forums/topic/44/automating-external-sources-with-smartbet-io. Most text-based external sources like telegram channels, emails, websites are straightforward to scan and bridge to smartbet.io and would take a medium skilled programmer no more than a few hours.Many users have built such scrapers for various kinds of sources in the past, like arb alert services, telegram channels, mail lists, etc. There were also some developers with experience in the Smartbet.io API that had built such applications for others and used to write in the old forum, let me know if you need their contact.

Why is it relevant what format a telergam or any other external source uses? You will need to have an app that connects to the external source, reads the picks and submits them to smartbet.io. As long as the information needed by smartbet.io is present and the source is using a consistent and structured syntax, transforming them to the smartbet.io accepted format is trivial.Challenges occur when sources deliberately employ techniques to prevent scraping or automation. These techniques may include embedding information within images, captchas, tracking response times and many others.   less

Retrieving bet results from a boomaker is a very resource intensive process for the bookmaker, we can't just ask a bookmaker every few minutes for the results for all bets that were ever placed in that account. A bot will retrieve bet results in regular intervals from the book accounts that it is configured to use, but when it is stopped for a long time or is running only for brief periods of time before it gets the chance to retrieve settled bets, there may be bet results that it will never see. The current cutoff for Pinnacle is 3 days (meaning that if a bot places a bet with Pinnacle and does not connect for a sufficient amount of time to that same Pinnacle account for more than three days after this bet is SETTLED by Pinnacle, it will never see the result).Even in this case you can still manually settle your open bets, all you need to do is hit the...    less

For PC bots, online means that the application is running even if the bot itself is stopped.3/ They have at least one active book.So, offline bots will never receive orders for picks that were submitted while they were offline.To go a bit further, we determine that a bot is online or not by checking every 1-2 minutes. This means that a bot that goes offline will still appear as online in the system for another few minutes so incoming picks will generate pending orders for it. But all pending orders expire soon after creation if they are not picked up by the target bot, so even in that case the bot will never receive these orders.  less

A 'pick' refers to a selection that triggers order generation for following bots. On the other hand, a 'bet' is the outcome of an order that has been executed successfully.All open picks in a source's records page at smartbet.io/pagepicks/picks?source=sourcename are hidden for ALL users (except the source owner) until they are settled. It does not matter if the viewer is following or not, or if the source is private or public or if someone knows the source name and URL. Open picks in a source's pick records are visible ONLY to the source owner with everyone else just seeing sport and starting time. In addition, source records pages for private sources are only accessible to the source owner, so that all info about a private source is kept private - not just picks. To demonstrate this, create a private source and then try to access it both being logged in and after logging out or using a different smartbet.io...    less

PS3838 may disable API access for individual accounts in cases of abuse, such as fetching data without placing bets. However, I believe agents don't play a role in this process.It's possible that some lesser-known agents offer accounts without API access as the default option, but to my knowledge, all well-known agents don't fall into this category.PS3838 has legal restrictions regarding the countries they accept sign-ups from, and I assume these restrictions apply to their agents as well.  less

This means a submitted pick will only be recorded if at least one following bot successfully places the corresponding bet with the same book and equal or better price. The data from the first bot that places the bet successfully will be used to record the pick on the source's records.

It also helps you understand the impact of market liquidity and dropping odds on your performance so that you can adjust your strategy accordingly.    less
