Last year I created market data collector and market simulator, then I started analyzing betting exchange markets. Now I developed a computer system which allows for examining markets on a betting exchange real-time using virtual money. As opposed to my historical analysis, which was mostly automated AI aided process, real-time analysis is a purely manual activity.

First I developed betting exchange and I deployed it to Amazon Cloud, it is available at http://betex.danmachine.com. Then I fed this betting exchange with horse racing real-time market data coming from Betfair betting exchange, so that I could place bets on those markets using virtual money.
After that I created Google gadgets for displaying real time charts for win and place markets and to be able to place bets on a betting exchange.

The key software development technologies I applied are Scala for back-end and Javascript for front-end.
