Further development of the application permits it to save data from Betfair onto the reader's hard drive for offline analysis and visualisation in a spreadsheet for the purpose of building trading algorithms. The reader is shown how to automate their trading so that they can remove emotion from their trades and scale up their trading for increased profits. Using Microsoft's Visual Studio (downloadable for free) the reader is shown how to code an application that will gather prices for any market on Betfair's exchange and then place bets into that market.

The application is geared towards horse racing but can easily be adapted to other sports on Betfair's exchange. Each chapter of Programming for Betfair contains snippets of code that combine to create a complete trading application. This book offers a sports trader the chance to build their own trading applications, regardless of their programming ability. The Betfair exchange, coupled with its API, permits a suitably skilled trader to code complex trading applications, which would not look out of place in the financial markets.
