Sports betting exchange Betfair provides an API that allows you to:
- read market information and prices
- place / update / cancel bets
- manage your account
and more. Greenthumb is a wrapper for this API and can be used as an alternative to the Betfair website. It is written in C++ and uses the wxWidgets toolkit.
