Keeran says:
“Is there a java lib available for character recognition etc?”

Not that I know of. I ended up writing my own.

Hmm another idea that we’ve shared. I kept tripping up on the scraping aspects of the direction I was heading and abandoned it in the end. Is there a java lib available for character recognition etc?

Stop reading my mind! ;)

This idea reminds me of this person I know who wants to develop an online system for horse betting, to sell as a service. The only dilemma is this question, “If the system is so good, and provides a real advantage, why is the owner selling it as opposed to finding investors?”.

On the second thought … don’t do it. Poker sites seems to explicitely prohibit bots, and it’s better not to go into anything illegal, be it using or selling the poker bot application.

James’s right. It’s not a product to sell, it’s an application to use. Make it running in a dedicated home machine, and make money for you. Focus on some other idea meanwhile.

Is this a joke?

If not, then you need to keep it to yourself, start winning money, and make enough to take you and your girlfriend to the moon.
