Cross market sports arbitrage calculations and algebra

£10-15 GBP / hour

Previous experience of working on sports arbitrage or sports betting projects would be an advantage since the candidate would have a better understanding of the terminology used and basic concepts. This is, however not essential as more important is an ability to solve the required calculations and a logical thinker. I require an individual to provide calculations for "cross market arbitrage" involving "split handicaps" and "split totals". A standard arbitrage calculation is where bets are placed on a two way or three way outcome and the return (or profit) is equalized whatever the result. Cross market arbitrage is more challenging since one or more of the involved bet types can have different payouts depending on the result. It is still possible to utilize these bets, but algebraic solutions are required. I am looking for a person to do the algebra, and ultimately provide calculations that can be implemented into my arbitrage software.

I have a PhD degree in theoretical and computational physics and dozens of published papers in peer review journals on computational physics and computational chemistry (please ask me for references if you wish). I took a class on financial mathematics once. I understand the problem and I can certainly do the required calculations. In my line of work I do preliminary analytical derivations on paper and then I write a code in Perl or Matlab to implement the equations and obtain numerical results. So I understand well how the implementation is done. Even if you don't want me to write the code, I can present the equations that I would have derived in the optimal way to simplify the task of your programmer. I put 20 hr/wk in my bid but if you are in a hurry then I could prioritize your project and dedicate more time to it.

Hello, Please explain how exactly this software should work, if it will be written in python. Is it a library that will be used by another app or a standalone desktop or CLI app? Best regard, Stas

Hi; I am an Excel / VBA coder professional with over ten years experience in developing automated web data extraction applications. Of particular interest, I have developed many auto, real time, sports betting apps, e.g. using Betfair's and Pinnacle Sports API's and integrated these applications within the Excel platform. I can provide these and many other samples of my applications on your request. It should be noted, that I have not worked with arbitrage calculations, but as an engineer, I have developed algebraic functions in developing Monte Carlo simulations and the like. I would rely on you to provide guidance on the arbitrage algebra to use. Moreover I have done some Python coding, which I have integrated within my applications. Most recently I used Python to request session tokens in order to support an auto bet feature, In closing, I have the expertise and the experience to successfully deliver your project. Your comments are welcomed. Regards Zenon
