Aussie Racing Challenge Website Development

Project Description:

I am looking for an experienced web developer / data scraping expert / AI modeller to build a professional website for Jockey Challenges (Gallops) and Driver Challenges (Harness Racing) across Australian race meetings.

The website will track all jockeys/drivers in a meeting, calculate live leaderboards after every race, generate AI prices for the challenge markets, and compare bookmaker odds to identify value bets.

Overview

Jockey Challenge

Which jockey scores the most points across a gallops race meeting.

Driver Challenge

Which harness racing driver scores the most points across a harness meeting.

Points System

Each race result awards:

* 1st = 3 points
* 2nd = 2 points
* 3rd = 1 point
* Dead heats = split points (0.5 etc.)

Points update automatically after each race.
