They really should have automated the bet placement from the outset, which would have made it worth the effort. Could probably make a few thousand $ before getting cut off, per person. Definitely a worthwhile venture, considering you could probably then sell off the software after using it for some more profits.

Sites like https://www.oddsmonkey.com/ are kind of on this track already.
