Thanks, were they all from the Betangel site or was it advertised elsewhere, 30 is quite a crowd.LinusP wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 5:14 pmWas brilliant, must have had close to 30 people with many first timers, about 5 from betfair and I had a few beers paid forSeth wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 4:37 pmHow did the meet up go? Only noticed it late yesterday so was a no go for me, did many attend and did Betfair send any people?
Betfair Australia seem to be quite active with their botters and do quite a lot of encouraging videos on YouTube for anyone starting out, might be of interest to some if they haven't seen them

It's arranged by the Betfairlightweight Slack forum but they extend the invite to anyone. It's primarily for people automating directly via the api but not exclusively. Just a chance to socialise really because it can be a bit of a solitary job.

I started here, I ended up paying for the Pro version but it's monthly and can cancel at any point. For me it was well worth it, I didn't complete the course, I got the basics out the way then moved on to YouTube videos which were structured for the project I was working on.
The courses on Codecademy are really easy to follow and very well presented.

Ditto courses on Udemy, personally I find it best to do something structured until the stabilisers can come off rather than pick and choose from here and there.MobiusGrey wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:49 pmThe courses on Codecademy are really easy to follow and very well presented.
I haven't done a Python course but I transfered from VB6 to C# with a Udemy course. Lots of free stuff but I went for paid, wasn't much, about 20 quid I think. Doing one course a year on something really helps to keep the grey matter oiled keeps you moving forward. Good luck with whatever you find Leeds1919.

Some big sales on Udemy for all kinds of courses but the sale ends today (according to the email)

New meet-up date organised:
6pm Thursday 28th October, The Counting House (The Gallery Room)
https://www.the-counting-house.com/
Amazing turnout last time and should be good with Betfair (premium + API team) and potentially BetConnect (founder + API team) also in attendance.

Successfully timed for the middle of the Melbourne cup meeting. So it's a no from me.
Just tell Betfair they've made a right horlicks of the exchange this year. It's a shame compliance are not attending as we could ask for all sorts of ID before they attempted to order a beer.

Property rent, fixtures and fittings, ingredients, utilities, wages, national insurance & pension contributions, business rates, public liability insurance, tax and shareholder handouts. I've no idea how they can charge so little. We don't even pay income tax so I think it's easy to get a distorted view of the cost of running a business especially in central London.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 4:20 pm£15.50 for a Pie ?
That’s 1/10th of my profit yesterday on the dogs.
It comes with seasoned greens and red wine gravy but I'd expect chips as well. £9.75 sounds a lot for a sandwich as well.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 8:10 pmProperty rent, fixtures and fittings, ingredients, utilities, wages, national insurance & pension contributions, business rates, public liability insurance, tax and shareholder handouts.

Melbourne Cup meeting is always the first Tuesday in November, not the last Tuesday of October, so you have your weeks mixed up Peter, Melbourne Cup meeting week is 1st November - 7th November, so you are good to go.
