Vitegrity Released to Public for Final Testing Phase.

Posted by Aegist on June 9th, 2006

Vitegrity is almost ready for release. CJ has just released the final test build open to the public. Feel free to download and test it, for free, explore the concept, and most interestingly partake in this rare opportunity to affect the creative process and tell CJ exactly what you think this software should do. This is not the final product yet, everytime I try it out, I always get back to him with two or three things which need improving. Now everyone else can do the same, and CJ will actually take the time to see your suggestions implemented.

Anyway, here is his post in the forums

———————————————

Hello All,

The Vitegrity Software’s Event Finder is beginning the final stages of testing (finally)… so it’s open season for anyone who wants to give the Event Finder a try (it’s free). The intention of this final phase is to get several users leveraging the app at once.

ABOUT THE EVENT FINDER

The Event Finder application is a MDI tabbed browser designed to streamline the process of finding events within one or more bookmaker websites. Even if you are a seasoned sports arbitrage trader, the Event Finder will have a dramatic and positive impact on your sports arbitrage endeavors.

See the screen shot and list of features below for more information.

INSTALLER

Download it here: http://www.vitegrity.com/VitegritySetup.exe

RUN-TIME

The Vitegrity Software requires .NET 2.0 installed on your system before the application will work. The Vitegrity Software is dependent upon the rich functionality of the .NET libraries.

If you do not have it installed already, you can download it here.

SCREEN-SHOT

The following is what the Vitegrity Software looks like with the Event Finder.

FEATURES

The Event Finder has many features… the following are just a few of them:

1) Complex Search
The search functionality provided by the Event Finder is not the same type of search found in browsers today… the Event Finder search feature is much better. Not only does the Event Finder search for the entire string value in the search criteria field; it also tokenizes each word in the string and searches for each individual word. For instance, if a user typed “Rafael Nadal Tennis French Open” in the search criteria field, the Event Finder will perform a consecutive case-insensitve search on the following strings:

1) “Rafeal Nadal Tennis French Open”
2) “Rafeal”
3) “Nadal”
4) “Tennis”
5) “French”
6) “Open”

The results are categorized and placed in a user-friendly tree control with the found items highlighted in yellow. Selecting on any of the found items in the tree control will highlight the string value in the browser and scroll into view.

See the screen-shot to get a better idea.

2) Real-Time Complex Search
The Event Finder will perform a complex search on every webpage users navigate to based on the values in the search criteria field. The Real-Time Complex Search has all the same functionality mentioned in the previous section with the added ability to perform the search automatically. No retyping required and the user does not need to explicitly click the Find button unless the user wants to.

3) SureBet Pro Integration
The Event Finder’s SureBet Pro integration is extremely useful… the feature transfers all the excellent arbitrage information from SBP’s bet windows into the Event Finder for easy reference. Furthermore, the Event Finder will repurpose the necessary information to automatically fill in the search criteria… no typing is necessary and there is no chance of making a typo. Just push a button and start navigating through the bookmaker site.

It’s important to note that SureBet Pro is not required in order to use the Event Finder. It’s just a handy feature for SBP users and other integrations will soon follow.

4) Automatic Refresh
The Event Finder comes with a handy Automatic Refresh feature that keeps users logged in to a given bookmaker’s website and to also keep the odds updated. This feature is great because it’s totally configurable and users know exactly how much time is left before refreshing - by looking at the remaining seconds.

5) Screen Captures
The Event Finder also comes with valuable screen capture capabilities that takes screen-shots of just the visible browser window. No need to waste time and opportunity documenting every bet placed. Just push the Snap-Shot button and move quickly to the next opportunity. Take as many screen captures as needed. The Event Finder will cache them all until users need to reference them.

6) RoboForm Compatible
The Event Finder is compatible with the industry’s leading password manager and form filler… RoboForm.

7) Tabbed Browsing
Hold down the SHIFT key as you click a link and a new tab will appear.

Application (File) Manager
Easily view and toggle between multiple Event Finders in the file tree control. This is a great feature when users have all of their favorite bookmakers open and waiting for an arb opportunity.

UPCOMING FEATURES

1) Affiliate Program and Back Office
The Vitegrity Software will have an affiliate programs for each application (including the Event Finder). The affiliate program will come complete with a built-in back office within the Vitegrity application itself. This will allow users to keep tabs on all their referrals and the applications they register for.

The referral percentage will be roughly 1/3 the cost of the application. Meaning, if the Event Finder registration is $15 a month, the referrer will receive a whopping $5 every month for every person they refer. An affiliate program is a great way to market the Vitegrity application and for users make an additional income.

2) Built in Forum
The Vitegrity Software will contain a built-in forum where the community of users can publicly ask questions and have questions answered.

3) Updated Website
When time permits…

4) Automated Updates and Bug Fixes
Bug fixes and new features will automatically downloaded every time users restart the Vitegrity software. A fast paced development process combined with automated updates will be a great way to keep users up to speed.

5) ANY SUGGESTIONS..? I BUILD WHAT YOU WANT
Seriously, if there is a feature users want to see in the product - I’ll see to it that it gets developed. The intention is to be responsive to user needs and to accommodate them in a timely fashion.

KNOWN ISSUES

1) In some cases, the search capabilities will find content that is not visible and display it in tree control.

2) Some bookmaker’s websites will not completely load (ever) and the search mechanism does not work properly.

3) …

ADDITIONAL NOTES

1) The Event Finder will initially indicate that the Trial period ends in 10 days; however, for the this testing phase, the Trial will be reset after it expires.

2) The Event Finder will download several “Definition” files the first time it starts up. This will only happen the first time you open the Event Finder.

3) The instructions provided in the Vitegrity software are not complete as of yet, so it may take time to discover all the features and their proper usage. The hope is that the application is intuitive enough to figure out. Other than that, don’t hesitate to PM me if you have any questions.

PROJECTED PRICE

After a 10 day trial, the Event Finder will likely be priced anywhere from $5 to $20 with 1/3 of the proceeds going to an affiliate program. Payments will done via a secure payment console where users will be prompted to pay every month (no automatic monthly contracts). Users can simply decline to make a monthly payment if they are unsatisfied with the product and the application will lock itself. The following will be the payment options.

1) PayPal (Cash, Visa & MC)
2) EGold
3) E-Bullion
4) DXGold
