"Live Program 2" Based on the Bettordata feed has been released to existing ROICware Clients.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Live Program 2 has been developed based on the premium data service Bettordata which is delivered by www.subscriptiondata.com. This feed allows Live Program 2 access to raw data for the 3 Major TAB's - Qld (Unitab), Nsw and Victoria (Tabcorp). The software then performs calculations on the raw data and displays it in a number of ways. You as a user will be able to see every single dollar that goes on a horse or dog from the open of betting thus allowing you to visually see any unusual anomalies that might be occurring in the betting. The software will also find the best available dividends for you across the 3 TAB's. So if you hold accounts at all 3 TAB's it can take as little as 4 or 5 seconds to send to ALL 3 TAB's when dutch betting.

There are a few modes you can set it up to and I will briefly explain them:
You can set the software to run in a combination of any of the following Modes-
1. Simple Mode and Expert Mode
2. Black Box Mode and White Box Mode

EXPERT MODE & SIMPLE MODE
1.1 Expert Mode
Expert Mode provides the user with an abundance of information and indicators about the event in question. It is also recommended that in expert mode you utilise a minimum screen resolution of 1280 X 1080 so all the data fits on one screen without the need to scroll. You can view exact dollar amounts wagered on each runner from open of betting, each dividend change for both win and place, early money indicators, late money indicators, your rating system and money momentum graphs for both win AND place for each of the 3 major totes.

1.2 Simple Mode
Simple Mode is a cut down or compact version of expert mode for users who don't wish to see EVERY little thing or indicator. It contains win and place dividends for each runner, your ratings, early money indicators and late money indicators. It also has our unique QuickView system. This means that although you can't see every dollar on the screen, simply hover your mouse over the number of the horse you wish to inspect and it will display that last 10 updates for both VIC, NSW And QLD TAB's directly under each other. This also makes it easy to identify simultaneous money dumps in simple mode. To turn the QuickView off, simply move your mouse away and it will disappear. This mode would also suit someone who is running at a lower screen resolution like 800 X 600.

2.1 Black Box Mode
Black Box Mode is a Mode whereby the software will make selections for you automatically based on your points/ratings system. Quite simply, the higher the rating the more likely a runner will be selected.

2.2 White Box Mode
White Box mode allows you the complete freedom to make your own decisions based on what the software is showing. We have also designed another piece of software that comes with Live program 2 called the "3 TAB Bet Sender".

WHAT IS THE 3 TAB BET SENDER?
The "3 TAB Bet Sender" is a program that allows quick and simultaneous bet sending abilities to Australia's major Totalisor Administration Boards. It scans, listens and waits for Live Program 2 to indicate it wants to send a bet through. When it detects this is occurring it will determine which TAB's the bets need to go (according to best dividends) and then sends them.

It is a communicating platform between Live Program 2 and your TAB accounts. Depending on your internet connection it can take as little as 4 or 5 seconds to send to ALL 3 TAB's at best dividends.

In the not too distant future we imagine that we will be able to send bets directly into major bookmakers and the betting exchange, Betfair.

WHAT ABOUT THE OLD NETBET?
Don't worry. You can tell Live Program 2 if you want to continue using the old netbet method OR the 3 TAB Bet Sender. So if you have an account in only Queensland then you can set Live Program 2 to work with netbet.

ROICware 2.0.0.3 has been released.
There have been a few minor changes made to the software as listed below:

1. TAB Balance is show on the main panel on the left now. This makes it a lot easier to view financial information.

2. Under the selections stats table you should see a new "+" and "-" buttons and also "0 Selections Max" This allows a user to quickly tell the software the maximum number of selections that you would like to receive. If it is left at "0" then the software will make selections as per usual.

3. When the "Never Include Fav" is used (in Pool Percentages and Pool Percent + Money Flow selection modes) the user now has the option to ignore not only the first favourite but your choice of up to three (3) favourites.

4. The money distribution chart is now coloured to match the trend column colours 5. The software was having data issues with some events - Usually New Zealand, South Africa, England and Hong Kong. These have been resolved and the software is again able to utilise these events fully.

The below Screenshots demonstrate (1) That the favourite is selected (2) That in the second screenshot we have excluded the favourite and (3) In the third we have chosen to ignore the top two favourites.

We have added two different betting modes for the 3 totes bettordata software.

- Black Box Mode - The software can pick dutch betting/ place & win bets for the user based on the users points grading of each runner.

- White Box Mode - Allows the user to completely select their own dutch, win and place bets Keep posted!

Rollout for the most comprehensive racing tool in Australia is due very very soon!


17/09/07

We have had quite a number of requests for different types of programs. Not only to integrate into our existing project but into our upcoming bettordata one. So as a result of these requests we will be setting up an opinion poll to help determine which product would be preferred by not only our existing users but people with an interest in racing or betting either:

(1) A Form Based Ratings Program Where users can enter their own variables, jockeys, distance, tracks, form line analysis etc

(2) A Betfair Based Betting Program. After numerous requests we have already been researching (only scratching the surface) and investigating the Betfair API, "All Green" Betting. And direct betting into Betfair from within a third party software application.

So please keep in touch and when our opinion poll is launched please cast your vote. Of if you don't want to wait drop us a line to info@roicware.com.au

1. Track money across the 3 TAB’s
2. See dollar for dollar how much has been placed on each runner from the open of betting
3. Money momentum graphs for each state for both win and place.
4. Custom points system. Users can assign their own ratings to different money swings
5. Send money to all 3 TAB’s in one click
6. Dutch Bet
7. You tell the program at which TAB you hold accounts and the software will find the best dividends for you. Quite handy for dutch betting!!

When released this will be the most comprehensive live money tracking tool in Australia. Once again, nothing will come close both for features and price!

The lastest version (1.5.3.11) is now available for download. The software now auto-refreshes, contains hot keys so sending bets is as easy as pressing 1,2,3,4 (LITERALLY), and some pre-set criteria functionality has been entered so events meeting your set criteria show up in green. For full details of this update please email info@roicware.coma.au and we will send you the specs of the latest update.


12/07/06
The new version of the software (1.5.3.9) is now available for download. The software is now able to send place bets through and the user has multiple option/criteria they can set to come up with their selection. The software now also displays the name of the event, distance, track conditons and whether conditions. The favorite is now highlighted in red for quick and easy identification.

27/06/06
We are in the final testing stages of the new place betting scenario. There will be a different investment strategies a user can select regarding their selections and their place betting strategy

S ome BIG news regarding the latest work which we have begun with ROICware. We are planning to implement some new data sources, namely NSWTab and VICTab. So essentially a user will be able to pick which TAB's odds they would like to view and capture. For those of you with faster internet connections we are bringing out a "multi-view" screen where the dividends from the 3 TAB's will be displayed side by side so ultimately you can choose where your best bet will be. That's still a little while away but some very exciting news indeed!!

05/06/06
Work has begun to incorporate place betting into the program. In addition to this some further cosmetic work is in progress mainly in the form of highlighting the favorite in a different colour to that of the rest of the field. Also the name of the event, track conditions, weather conditions and distance will be added to the event screen. This should give users a little more information to utilise the software especially if you use this a part of your criteria to bet or not to bet.

26/05/06
1.The new version of the software (1.5.3.8) is now available for download. The software has been streamlined for ANY 2 and FIRST 4 bet types.

2. The user is now also able to customise how they wish their selections to appear; either in a trends order or trends + odds (lowest to highest) meaning the competitors will be ordered by odds value.

3. Another addition is the facility of disabling the refresh and load data buttons whilst it is retrieving data. This gives the user a visual prompt when the data retrieval has finished.
