#QuiniWin Python

QuiniWin Python is an open-source project which gives the most probable option for the spanish lottery game know as “La Quiniela”. It’s calculation is based on the power of probabilities obtained through scraping at different bookmakers. The application is configurable in the number of doubles that you want to play.

##What is ‘La Quiniela’? La Quiniela is the name of a spanish lottery game, managed by ‘Loterías y Apuestas del Estado’, based at National Football League Championship. The bet is made on a list of 15 matches, usually composed by 10 of First Division and 5 on Second Division.

Every match is marked with a sign for simple bets, and can made two or three signs (double and triple) for multiple bets. Permitted signs are 1, if you bet for the victory of the team listed first (usually local), the X in the event that you create that will tie, or 2, if you bet for victory team listed second (usually the visitor).

La Quiniela is intended for 55% of revenue for the awards, which are distributed by category:

• Special category: 14 hits plus fifteen plenary: to 10% of revenue
• 1st Category: 14 Hits: 12% of revenue
• 2nd Category: 13 Hits: 8% of revenue
• 3rd Category: 12 hits: 8% of revenue
• 4th Category: 11 hits: 8% of revenue
• 5th Category: 10 hits: 9% of revenue

##How it works? QuiniWin uses www.loteriasyapuestas.es and www.oddsportal.com web sites. In first place it download the current Quiniela.

Once downloaded the lottery it will do scraping in Oddsportal, a website that offers data about Spanish League matches in a point of view relative to betting. When the data is obtained for simple and double bets, the optimal values of each event are stored.

Transforms these odds to probabilities 1/odd, it will calculate the most probably combination adjust to the limits previously parameterized.

The whole process is automatic, handles captchas without overloading OddsPortal server to avoid prejudices derived from the use of this application.

##Usage python menu.py

This commands show the main menu. You can navigate by the different options or automate the process with the last option.

##External Resources This application makes use of the library Selenium Webdriver. Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web browsers across many platforms. You can get more info here: Selenium WebDriver.

##Hit Ratio As in any lottery game, the most important part of the success is in the luck factor. Play the most probable betting does not guarantee any prizes, but will give us a greater chance of success in the long run.

On a personal level I have used it in a game system with 7 doubles, when in the second week got benefits hitting a game of 14 hits plus fifteen plenary.
