New betting start-up aims to automate punters’ strategies

Ukrainian software start-up Fireswan has developed a B2C mobile app for punters to analyse data to automate their betting strategies.

The iOS and Android app is currently available to the public in beta and offers data from seven European football leagues including the Premier League, the and Spain’s La Liga.

Punters can add and test various parameters to try and identify winning systems.

Co-founder Max Shyrokiy told EGR the majority of the 100+ beta testers are seasoned bettors and the app allows them to pick teams and leagues as well as margin and odds to test their bets.

Shyrokiy said the product uses a third party data aggregator to provide data and odds. The latest update allows users to back-test data from the beginning of the football season.

Shyrokiy said the app has produced 15,000 picks with a 5% ROI for punters. The Ukrainian entrepreneur said the team was working to increase the percentage by building new features like more back-tested strategies.

Future iterations of the app will have messenger and social features for users to share their picks.

“Initially we wanted to create a tool for ourselves to automate our betting strategies and we wanted to be able to share messages for upcoming events,” Shyrokiy said.

Shyrokiy said the app was not affiliated with any betting operators and punters couldn’t place bets through the product.
