It is a fun challenge to find out how this all works. So I will try to read up some more and see how to do that. Don't worry. I am not going to ask you to teach me how to code from scratch. But I might ask specific Smartbet related questions that I cannot find the answer to from web searches.   -------- If anyone else is thinking about doing this from zero coding experience like me, my current starting point is the idea that I need to:   1. Scan my telegram channel to get the data I need (also called "scraping" data from the internet) 2. Use a "POST request" (or "GET request") to send the data to the Smartbet API endpoint postpick.php   From looking at the internet I am going to start at these help pages: https://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-get-data-from-telegram-82af55268a4b  https://www.scrapingbee.com/blog/web-scraping-101-with-python/ I can compile this into an...    less

  Sorry, I didn’t explain what I am trying to do well. I mean that I don’t have an app that connects to the telegram messages, reads the picks and submits them to smartbet.io.

I mean that I don’t have an app that connects to the telegram messages, reads the picks and submits them to smartbet.io. How do I get an app that can do that? (I have a bot on bf bot manager that finds selections itself and is profitable, it can send a message to telegram when it places a bet, then I want that bet to be sent to my source as a pick on Smartbet.io so I can sell the picks as tips. I know how to make the telegram part and I have the Smartbet bot, but I don’t have the connecting app in between.)  less

  Automating picks from Telegram

  In another post https://smartbet.io/forums/topic/44/automating-external-sources-with-smartbet-io It says that "Any external source can be automated with Smartbet.io.

To connect an external source with Smartbet.io, you must first retrieve picks from the original source and then submit them to Smartbet.io. This process is applicable to websites, Telegram channels, Arbitrage or Value alert services, Excel files, emails, and more." If I have a telegram channel that posts tips in the right format SPORT: [Sport associated with the pick]EVENT: [Event related to the pick]BET: [Pick's bet string]ODDS: [Pick's odds in decimal format]STAKE: [Stake for the pick in Smartbet.io's 1-10 units scale]BOOK: [Bookmaker, e.g. "PINNACLE", "BET365"]SOURCE: [Smartbet.io source that the pick is submitted to] How can I set up my bot to automatically make picks for my source from that Telegram message?        less

  How many instances of Smartbet can i run on one PC?

  If I install Smartbet 2 times in 2 different installation folders and use 2 different bot IDs for them, is it possible to run 2 instances of the Smartbet software on one PC? Or must it be 2 separate PCs?

  Thank you for the explanation. My smartbet software is on my laptop and only gets switched on for a few hours each day. That must be the problem. I will move it to my VPS and leave it on 24/7.

  How long does it take for results to be updated?

  What should I do if my source results still show open bets from 8 days ago? I still have open bets from 2023-05-12.  Is this there anyway I can manually trigger an update of those results through my bot?

  What deposit methods for source fees are available?

  I was wondering what deposit methods are available. Are PayPal and bank transfers possible?
• TomW replied to a topic in the forum New User Questions:

  Yes, I must have made a mistake like that. I clicked "log out" and then tried to view my source picks and I could, but it appeared I was logged out, but I actually must still have been logged in somehow. Thank you for the clarification.

  I just looked again now and the tips are hidden! Thank you! Was that like that before or did you just change it?

  Question about public and private sources - How do I keep open tips hidden?

I understand that if anyone (logged in or not) clicks on the "all sources page" and then clicks on a source, then they can see " open" bets, which means they can manually bet on those tips without paying for them. With private sources, they are not listed on the "all sources" page, but once a user knows the name of the private source (either by being told it or searching using the source creator name in the software itself), then they can find the source page by adding it to the regular profile page name. "https://smartbet.io/pagepicks/picks?source=TomW>TomW2P" and see open bets, which also means they could bet on the tips without paying for them. Is there anyway to keep open tips private until they are settled? Or is there anyway to keep open private tips only visible to manually approved users?  less

  What happens if my bot is offline when a source submits a pick?

(My PC is switched off, the software is not running.) 10am A source I am following posts a pick. 11am I switch on my bot. Does it retrieve the new pick or is it missed because my bot was offline at 10am?   (I just tested it now and it seems to miss the pick. I want to check if that is what is meant to happen.)
