The Client
The client owns and runs an online betting platform. This platform aims to help online bettors earn bonuses from legal betting. It has advanced tools like Oddsmatcher and Dutching calculator embedded. These tools allow users to compare bookmakers from different markets to predict results. Bettors can use these tools to understand markets and ongoing rates before deciding who to place bets with.
The Challenge
When the client approached Capital Numbers, the platform lacked tools like Oddsmatcher and the calculator. The client only had the betting CMS platform live. Therefore, he wanted to embed the Oddsmatcher tool to help bettors:
- Compare bookmakers
- Compare odds
- Compare markets
- Compare bonuses
- Compare commissions
- Gather real-time data
- Find past data
- Generate predictive results, etc.
In short, the client wanted this tool to make betting comparisons easy. He believed a comparison tool could help bettors find everything in one place. He felt this tool could help bettors find leading bookmakers in a single window and compare their rates.
In addition, the client also wanted an AI-based Dutching calculator embedded in the betting site. He wanted the calculator to use AI tech to generate expected outcomes.
Besides, the client faced numerous system issues and bugs in the existing CMS platform. He wanted to fix them all.
The client chose Capital Numbers over other vendors to address the above challenges. He studied our past work, liked our approach, and hired a skilled Django developer from us to take care of his current challenges. He integrated our developer directly into his in-house team and proceeded with the project.
The Solution
The client began the work by raising tickets regularly on JIRA. Our Django developer would pick and resolve those JIRA issues. Among the JIRA requests, the most critical integrations were the following:
- ATM Oddsmatcher
- Chrome Extension Alerts
- Calculators
- Custom APIs
Our developer, highly proficient with the Django framework, took care of the above individually. For example:
We developed the betting comparison tool, ATM Oddsmatcher, using Django programming techniques. We chose Django because it helps build filters with dynamically changing logic. So, using this framework, we added new filters to help bettors set criteria by date, event, league, bookmaker, market, etc. Django also helps build algorithms for performing calculations. And because our tool required performing betting calculations, we created the tool using the Django code.
We also developed a Dutching calculator for calculating betting outcomes. We created different fields in this calculator for users to add their criteria. We also used AI technology for the calculator to analyze results based on current criteria and past observations.
Next, we worked on the Chrome Extension alert. We added this notification service to send real-time pop-ups to users about any profitable betting opportunity they need to know.
Apart from adding these features, we fixed several backend API errors, for example:
- Many API call requests needed to be in order.
- Some API call requests had invalid arguments.
- Some valid APIs got rejected due to bugs.
- Some good APIs required clarifications.
- Some APIs had missing parameter values.
We fixed every issue and added valid arguments to make all backend APIs work. We also ensured every API integration we made didn’t distort data in the React.js frontend.
Our dedicated developer worked on this complex Django project and coordinated with the client over Slack to resolve all issues. The client’s team continued to push our solutions to the live server as and when our developer fixed each task.
Results
In five months, we completed all the tasks. We implemented new tools, added the right APIs, and fixed all bugs. The key outcomes are as under:
ATM Oddsmatcher Software
We developed a full-scale ATM Oddsmatcher software that finds and shows optimum bets within a single interface. The key features we created for this software are below:
- Filters - Users can filter by date, event, bookmaker, market, etc., to find a new match.
- Saved Settings - Once users filter their criteria, they needn’t re-enter them next time.
- Adjustable Timezones - Users can set the software to their preferred timezone to never miss a new match.
- Range of Markets - Users can find a range of betting markets.
- Automatic and Manual Refresh - Users can refresh the software automatically or manually to find new data.
- Adjustable Stakes - Users can enter their bonus bet and have the SR (Stake Returned) and SNR (Stake not Returned) columns updated automatically.
The Dutching Calculator
Our integration of the Dutching calculator helps bettors calculate faster. Users can add the following details:
- Qualifying bet
- Stake
- Back odds
- Lay odds
- Lay commission
And the calculator calculates the rest automatically, saving users time.
Sophisticated Algorithms
We used sophisticated algorithms for the calculator to play around with past data to make predictions.
Chrome Extension Alert
Our Chrome Extension alert sends pop-ups about essential matches, even when a user works on a different browser.
Custom APIs
Our custom backend APIs fetch real-time dynamic data from hundreds of third-party betting sites and reflect on the dashboard.
Advanced Django Solutions
We handled everything efficiently because of our solid understanding of Django’s pre-built code.
Quick Deliveries with Agile/Kanban Practices
We delivered the project smoothly because we worked on JIRA Kanban boards that gave us complete visibility of workflows.
Smooth Collaboration Over Slack
We held stand-ups over Slack once or twice weekly to discuss priorities with the client.
An Advanced Odds Matcher Tool
We are proud to say that we could successfully develop an advanced betting odds matcher tool and meet all other client’s requirements.
An Impressive Client Feedback
Today, we’re happy to find our client serving a broader betting community because of our solutions. Our client, giving us great feedback on Clutch, mentioned that it was highly beneficial for him to integrate one of our critical talents into his team. This engagement led the client to find a trusted partner in Capital Numbers.
