I do hear ya well, but it's not up to bot developers. You need to discuss with Steem devs first to improve API connectivity which is horrible more and more over the past 1 year. Real time hash resulting on a blockchain who miss to respond to API calls every 2-3 seconds... Not doable.
I was considering bare-metal unit for bot, but we never made even 100$ profits in a month (like steemdice was doing daily - and they still not have their own api) to do something like that. Last time we got hacked and that was enough for us to stop for a while doing anything related to this.
Finally, we are discussing some partnerships and even porting this to BTS (Much stable blockchain and infrastructure), but there is possibility that SteemBet will start with its own server this week. It would made it much more smooth and stable than current config/setup, where we and our users rely on 3rd party API availability.
Many thanks for comment,
Much appreciated and welcome, i've seen you around ever since 2017 around both mentioned.
Cheers,

Glad to have some words from you.
Betting on blockchain may have some strange results. Dont you mine to develop independent betting system using STEEM/SBD or other crypto aswell? In my point of view services should be more stable and reliable. Customers at 1 place ofc. Not to mention that blkchain betting when House active may play some "strange" results. If you make Share dependent client wallets , you should ignore realtime block transactions (some resources free , for API query) ATM steem network use 25% of block (capped) thats why delays in deposit/bet. I personaly have a bunch of issues with this technique. Mostly bet is placed not on block i wish. BTH system should be like this - client deposit (hit bet button - 2 block have passed - current (the system make query) and next transaction fired , and 1 more transaction confirm.Next 1 is a block we actualy betting on).Am i right? So there have been at least 4 blocks. If clients use share based wallet betting will proceed only in next block.
In this case we will have fictive internal calculation without using steem network. The only use of network will be only deposit/withdraw method.
