That is brilliant, top work.

Do you put your money where your mouth is? Place bets that your system pops out?

Edit: Roughly how many visitors do you get, monthly?

Yeah, I follow the system... It makes it easier for me to build on and improve the algorithms if I am using the service myself..

I am looking to add an extension to the site so it places bets automatically through the Betfair API then I can track the growth of the better balance that way.

I am planning to turn all the learnings from this into a free betting guide/ebook as well in the coming months to educate people on how to pick better bets and manage their bankroll.

The site gets around 25k visitors a month, and has a very good pages per visit rate and visitor duration. - The bulk of the engagement comes from the Android app which has around 75k users.. I am hoping to actually release the new improved version in the coming months and then launch on iOS as well. - There is also an email database with just over 20k subscribers, which gets a 30% open-rate and 5-6% click-rate on average per email.

Is all pretty fun... Currently spending more time on the site as I neglected it a bit when focusing on the app and the algorithm. Working hard on SEO to get the traffic levels up. Want to have 100k monthly visits to the site by the end of the year.
