HNY guys..

Tough year has been gone, let's hope for the better!

I just want to share an overview about how my project has gone in the last year.. If you read back some comments, you will see that i have invested in some sotware arb build from scratch.(yeei...)

After rough months in which i lost my initial developer, I can say that i was lucky to find a senior developer(still on freelance) that could do like 10hrs/week on freelance to help implement my ideas. This thing doubled the costs.

Numbers: 6850 USD/14 months invested till now, got back only ~3750$, which is good. Starting to see MonthoverGrow of 4-5%. Will see in June the numbers, as tennis season starting soon looks promising. And with vaccine already distributed, things will come fast to what was normal.

ps: the trick is not to find a good developer, even though this is important; the trick is to agree on conditions and methodology about  how things will be done. And yes, if you see that things are done quickly and right, pay more..

Regards,
arbasian

Well done for perusing. I would be scared to invest almost 7k is software that might need massive changes should bookmakers start limiting or blocking me.

I am a programmer with access to many user accounts. If there is someone who wants to team up with me with their arbing experience we can squeeze these accounts dry. I could do with someone who has at least 4 years experience with arbing.

HNY guys..

Another tough year has been gone, while i thought it would be better :)

I just want to update the overview about how my project has gone in the last year.. If you read back some comments, you will see that i have invested in some sotware arb build from scratch.(yeei...)

After rough months in which i lost my initial developer, I can say that i was lucky to find a senior developer(still on freelance) that could do like 10hrs/week on freelance to help implement my ideas. This thing doubled the costs.
---> now, for 10hrs/week, the costs are x3. And I just want to reiterate that is very important, once you are starting a software arb project, to maintain a good relationship with freelance programmer. I think I got lucky after years of looking.


Numbers: 6850 USD/14 months invested till now, got back only ~3750$, which is good. Starting to see MonthoverGrow of 4-5%. Will see in June the numbers, as tennis season starting soon looks promising. And with vaccine already distributed, things will come fast to what was normal.
---> Good and steady revenue.. 6% MonthOverGrow in the last year.. After 6850 + 4312 USD / 14 + 12 months spent, got back 3750 + 3150 $,which i think is great.

ps: the trick is not to find a good developer, even though this is important; the trick is to agree on conditions and methodology about how things will be done. And yes, if you see that things are done quickly and right, pay more..
---> that is where the 3x surcharge come.


---> Well, the future looks good.. Hope to share at some point the app itself for some feedback


Spoiler alert: virtual lines in basketball are contributing to the profit a lot ;)

I think you have to build it yourself. You need quickly fix code, you can't give your secrets just like that, you can't spend fortune for this etc. I have some basic skills from school(like theory of algorithms, Pascal...). Do you think you can quickly learn new stuff and build it? What do you need? Python?

What was ur approach?
And what would you change?

I find a guy on a freelancing website that says he has experience but he is asking 3-4 k for the first version with 4 bookmakers and 1x2, Over/Under and AsianHandicap combos.

I think is it too much, or not?
This is cheap tbh. I have been working full time as a software engineer for a few years now. Software like this can get very complicated, and 3-4k sounds like a steal to be honest. Getting a good programmer to custom code that for you at that price is not so high chance.

However, you could perhaps get it cheaper if your contract with the programmer states that he can sell it to other people too.

What is the programming language that he is using?
Having a similar project written in Java, and the programmers are asking 150USD / hour.
My costs surely go above your costs..

Hi arbusers,

This has become a very long thread for which I'm grateful to, lot's of good ideas being shared.. I do really appreciate it.
I'll be short and consistent in updates..

Numbers: 12k USD /3 yrs invested till now. Got back 8k, which is good. Besides MonthOverGrow stats varying from +5 to -6%, I now only focus on YOY, year over year growth. YOY growth stats show me that in one year or less i'll start making some profits, alleluyajh..
---> Good and steady revenue.. YOY 10% expected in 1-2 years.
I've dreamt to profits of 3X on money invested, but, after 3-4 years, i'm happy with 10%, max 15% profit. pure profit. Better on the long run.

Of the record :)
In my honest opinion, it sucked to have dealing with 2-3 programmers that could implement my ideas. Time lost on finding programmers, guys quitting when you don't offer more than what they want..etc...

It was a hell of a long journey, with bumps all along. Having a software with 14 bookies and 30 combos it's not that easy. If you will hire a programmer you will learn what maintenance means in this industry..

Cheers!

Define please similar project :).
Costs are higher for me due to the fact that i found the right guy who can make what i wish.

What did you achieve for 150 USD / hour?
More than 15 bookies and 30 arb combos? In what time?

Cheers!

Hi,

Just wanted to update this thread as it has come to an end..
My programmer not responding anymore. Tried everything, the project is dead and he is the only one which knows the software.. Tried to hire other programmers, but no luck.

Overall, on a ~4 year invest, managed to get 27-29% profit. Still good.

If you now a good Java programmer, just let me know.. ( but less than 200$/hour, please.. )

Nice sharing this project with this community. I really appreciate all the insights and advises received on this platform.

Cheers!

I think only option is if you build it yourself. Or you have a really close friend to do it and maintain it. You can't do this with some online freelancers. Also I would not feel comfortable to share my betting secrets which are sure to uncover in the process.
How hard can it be? I have some basics skills from my school( but it's like 15 years and I've never done some big projects). If you learn Python it should done the work, right?
