My way of analyzing essentially removes the commercial aspect and focuses purely on the event itself.
I might ask some questions to see if bookmakers like to purchase/gain access to other algorithms.
Just go out and interact with people?

Gained a decent user base that gives it a strong MMR from ads etc
Do you agree/disagree?
I like the way it can easily bring all the data into an easy to understand and use dashboard...
Anyone know any similar services?
Maybe at some point in the future I will consider a premium tier but it is not on the roadmap at the mo.
There is a Useful Resources section on the sidebar of the reddit page. How would I go about requesting a link to my site in there?
I prefer to make it available for free and then make the money by signing people up for bookies that they might not normally use.
Am deffo going to keep a close eye on the Reddit group so might shoot you an email about that in a couple of days
May ask for some feedback in there!
In my new template there is a section that will have a graph of stats on performance and ability to check how the algorithm has performed across segments (leagues, etc).
I am planning on using a Betfair bot in the future. Once I am happy that I have everything in place I will create this.
That is not something I am looking to do, I would prefer to hand out all my tips for free.
I have on two occasions run my predictions vs theirs and have beaten them on both occasions which is good.
I may set up a tracker between both algorithms over a longer timescale to see which is more accurate.
A good place to start out would be here: http://www.football-data.co.uk/data.php
I plan on expanding this functionality over the coming months as well, as there are a number of websites that keep requesting feeds and API access to the algorithm predictions.
It is just on a stock wordpress theme at the moment as I am currently developing a better site for it.
The algorithm selections can be seen here: http://betalyst.com/tips-zone/
Still a lot more work to do on it! - Feel free to share are potential improvements, I am not afraid of constructive criticism! It is very much something I threw together to get the algorithm into the wild, an MVP if you like.
The app is currently not available on the app store as I have to re-launch it with some changes as Google were not happy with the amount of 'gambling' content in it, they paused it when it got to 200k downloads!
It is due to be re-launched before the end of the month once I have time to make the changes they requested.
My app/website simply provides this information to users for free.
One of the good things about affiliate relationships in the betting niche is that they offer lifetime earnings if you go down that route. They also offer fairly strong CPAs if you negotiate with the brands you drive a lot of traffic to.
I am now branching out into more sports such as Tennis over the next 6 months!
(Chances are this will be less of a side project and more of a full time gig in a few months time if it keeps growing)
