Hi, I am a Python novice but I would like to create a script that would automate logging in to the bookmakers & placing a bet on a horse race. Because the schedule changes every day, I'm thinking for the purpose of my script it would be simpler to try & place a bet of amount '£ x' on the favourite or just 'horse number 1' on the next available race.
For example, betway.com has a 'Next Off' tab https://sports.betway.com/en/sports/rcg/...g/next_off. Similar for Ladbrokes https://sports.ladbrokes.com/horse-racing/races/next
I'd appreciate if anyone had any thoughts/suggestions on how to automatically bet on, say, horse #1/or the favourite using Betway username'betway123'.
Look at Selenium for this.

thanks for the info, I'll have read a read through & see if I can adapt it to my project
