I have also just started to allow 3rd parties access to my data!

I plan on expanding this functionality over the coming months as well, as there are a number of websites that keep requesting feeds and API access to the algorithm predictions.

Do you mind to disclose your data source(s)? Every now and then I've ideas in this space, but ultimately I'd need a (free or very cheap) API with history soccer results and match data - which I did not find so far.

I use a number of sources and several systems that I have built myself for collecting live score data on a daily basis.

A good place to start out would be here: http://www.football-data.co.uk/data.php

Could you share more, what information on betting? I was looking into this area.

I have developed an algorithm that has a strong strike rate for picking outcomes of matches.

My app/website simply provides this information to users for free.

One of the good things about affiliate relationships in the betting niche is that they offer lifetime earnings if you go down that route. They also offer fairly strong CPAs if you negotiate with the brands you drive a lot of traffic to.

I am now branching out into more sports such as Tennis over the next 6 months!

(Chances are this will be less of a side project and more of a full time gig in a few months time if it keeps growing)

I should point out that I had never made an app before giving this a try! Beginners luck!

Oh, so your revenue comes from affiliates? I thought that you have a monthly subscription fee :)

No monthly fee. I don't really like services that charge for this data.

I prefer to make it available for free and then make the money by signing people up for bookies that they might not normally use.

Any specific reason for doing this instead of just charging people for using the tips? Are your users generally skeptical of accuracy of tips and as such not likely to pay?

Just feel it is better to provide the service for free.

Maybe at some point in the future I will consider a premium tier but it is not on the roadmap at the mo.

link please ? I'd really like to try it.

Hey, the site is: http://betalyst.com/

It is just on a stock wordpress theme at the moment as I am currently developing a better site for it.

The algorithm selections can be seen here: http://betalyst.com/tips-zone/

Still a lot more work to do on it! - Feel free to share are potential improvements, I am not afraid of constructive criticism! It is very much something I threw together to get the algorithm into the wild, an MVP if you like.

The app is currently not available on the app store as I have to re-launch it with some changes as Google were not happy with the amount of 'gambling' content in it, they paused it when it got to 200k downloads!

It is due to be re-launched before the end of the month once I have time to make the changes they requested.

Nice job! You're probably aware of this site https://betegy.com/ maybe you can get some ideas from them (not affiliated). You should discuss your site at /r/soccerbetting my email is in my profile if you want to discuss further.

Yeah, I am away of the Betegy site. They offer a paid service.

That is not something I am looking to do, I would prefer to hand out all my tips for free.

I have on two occasions run my predictions vs theirs and have beaten them on both occasions which is good.

I may set up a tracker between both algorithms over a longer timescale to see which is more accurate.

All tips are in a database.

In my new template there is a section that will have a graph of stats on performance and ability to check how the algorithm has performed across segments (leagues, etc).

I am planning on using a Betfair bot in the future. Once I am happy that I have everything in place I will create this.

Cool! Shoot me an email if you'd like to chat further, myself and a friend had a betting tips site and facebook group going at one point, I like talking about this topic.

Do you track your results? That would be a good thing to have on the site for marketing purposes. Also, ever consider writing a betfair bot to automatically bet on your tips through their API? How do you decide on bankroll in your tips? (this is an area that interests me)

Thanks for the heads up on reddit.

May ask for some feedback in there!

Ya good idea. I'm a moderator there so if you need tips about promoting it correctly without being spammy let me know. Also, posting your picks to oddsportal picks (e.g. http://www.oddsportal.com/profile/DPT/), certain facebook groups, reddit, relevant forums and so on would be good to raise your profile.

Some great tips there. Thank you very much!

Am deffo going to keep a close eye on the Reddit group so might shoot you an email about that in a couple of days

No worries, I like the idea, happy to help. Might pick your brains about it a bit if that's ok. Some traffic stats for that subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/SoccerBetting/about/traffic/

Email away!

That links does not seem to work.

There is a Useful Resources section on the sidebar of the reddit page. How would I go about requesting a link to my site in there?

Pretty sure that link was public before... the mods must have made it private.

Your site would not be accepted into the Useful Resources section (lots of spam in the gambling industry, affiliate stuff etc). You have to be careful about how you get links, otherwise your domain will be quickly banned from the sub. A better suggestion would be the daily picks thread, perhaps auto posting the picks....
