waifu-rs is a bot for SaltyBet which will:
- make a record of the outcome matches;
- calculate the Elo of players for those matches;
- place bets based on the Elo of players.
Your mileage may vary. I've been stuck in the mines, though there are streaks where the bot will get into the millions of fake internet money.
This project is mostly unmaintained. The main repository is hosted at GitLab.
You'll need the following variables set in your environment:
# Your SaltyBet credentials
set -x SB_USERNAME ""
set -x SB_PASSWORD ""
# The path of the sqlite3 database to save state to.
set -x W_FILE_PATH prod.db
# The SaltyBet "API" endpoints. These can probably be hard-coded, but eh.
set -x SB_BET_URL "https://www.saltybet.com/ajax_place_bet.php"
set -x SB_LOGIN_URL "https://www.saltybet.com/authenticate?signin=1"
set -x SB_REFERER_URL "https://www.saltybet.com/"
set -x SB_INDEX "https://www.saltybet.com/"
# Aaaand logging settings.
set -x RUST_LOG "waifu=info"n.b.: the shell syntax is for fish. You'll need to use whatever syntax is compatible with your shell.
With those variables set, you can run the command:
cargo run --release
Happy betting!
I added the data I collected into contrib/data.sql. You can seed your bot by
using this data. To do that you'll need to run:
sqlite3 prod.db
.read contrib/data.sql
Once you've seeded your database be sure to update the W_FILE_PATH
environment variable.
This is the third incarnation of this bot. The first was a JS snippet which would randomly bet on red or blue. The second was a bot written in Clojure and, using Elo as a heuristic for placing bets. This project is the third, and probably final for now, series in the saga.
From running the bot for a while I've noticed there are highs and lows because of the betting strategy we use. In particular, we always place a bet if we can. In reality, we should really avoid placing a bet if we're not certain of the outcome. The amount of money we place on a bet should probably also change, since we'll always try to bet 10% of our current balance.
If you care enough you can probably write a bot which performs much better. I used this project mostly as a way to learn a bit of Rust.
