Brief Summary:

vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:

On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.

I'm looking for a simple application which will work with betfair's API.

I will need it to load the days in-play soccer match odds (draw market only and must only be matches which are going in-play).

I would like it to automatically place a back bet on "The Draw" at the current odds, and to place this bet as soon as the market goes into play.

Then as soon as the back bet has been matched, I will like it to then place a lay bet on the same selection (i.e The draw) at two ticks lower than the matched back bet.

So basically I'll be creating a possible trade on "the draw".

However, the lay bet stake must be a "smart bet" as in it will be a slightly higher stake to create a profit from the trade. Or Alternatively, place the same stake lay bet, but then hedge it when the trade is closed (matched).

Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page

Project Type:

What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)

Project Parts:

What do you want the worker to do on this project?

Requirements:	The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming:	The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation:	The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.

Req. Doc. Type:

What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the employer talks back and forth about the project with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the vWorker.com site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.

Program Type:

What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?

A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.

Desktop / server program info

Size of application:

How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
I don't know.

Programming Language:

What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I don't know what language (and need the worker's assistance to suggest it).

Operating system(s)

What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):

Microsoft Windows -- version(s): XP

Database:

Will this project include a database?
No, it does not include a database.

Installation Program:

Does the worker need to create an installation program?
Yes AND the program will be installed on only a single computer.

Legal:

1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.

Other Requirements:

All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
