Not sure why betfair would ban you for having a system. They are not making the market themselves (unless they do that now?) so they’d love to have someone like you playing. Probably banned for some other reason.

I had never made a bet with Betfair at that point. It could be that they just have a policy of banning people who apply for jobs with them. Shame in any case.

Nice CV by the way :-). I encourage you to join the Sydney FP meetup - https://www.meetup.com/FP-Syd/. Yes it's the other side of the world, but it's now online of course, and the people that attend are top notch in terms of knowledge, skills, connections etc. The sort of people who write their own languages, or play with FGPA's for a bit of fun etc. Some work for trading companies. And they are friendly, so they may have some ideas of companies looking for your skills.

Thanks. I'll give this a shot. Nothing to lose.
