BOT (ROBOT NETWORK)
Running of automated scripts over the internet
Have you ever wondered who is on the other side of your phone , yes I am talking about that same girl who speaks so nicely even if you call the person on the other hand 100 times and your call gets rejected every time you hear the same voice in the same tone with stability, “Person you are trying to call is busy! Please try after some time”.
It even tells you that the person you are contacting is busy! His/her phone is out of service! Or the phone is switched off! . I know some of you had already guessed that it is a pre-recorded message that you are made to hear by the machine but you are wrong , some of you are not knowing the technology that works behind it , after reading this blog you all will be clear in your minds what actually is going on behind the scenes so let us begin..

COMMERCIAL PURPOSE
There has been a great deal of controversy about the use of bots in an automated trading function. Auction website eBay has been to court in an attempt to suppress a third-party company from using bots to traverse their site looking for bargains; this approach backfired on eBay and attracted the attention of further bots. The UNITED KINGDOM –bas BET EXCHANGER saw such a large amount of traffic coming from bots they launched a web service API aimed at bot programmers through which Betfair can actively manage bot interactions.
