chiprivers Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am writing a script that will automatically place bets for me on the Betfair website using their free API service. This uses a combination of SOAP and XML to place bets on various markets. I have got to grips with the API serice and I can write the script that will place a bet, what I need to do is get the script to run at the right time. What I would like to do is have a database that holds the details of the races that I would like to bet on. Then 10 minutes before the due time of each selection, my script will run and process the information for placing the bet. How do I do this bit? How do I get the script to run at the times required, this will be different each day!
