Can Fabrik Do This Please Read

[InsideTheRaces.com]

What I am looking to do is have a on running contest were users enter in their various handicapping selections for several races at several tracks each day. The data entry form would be different each day since different tracks have races on different days and there would be different horses entered in each race. I would like to keep track of these handicapping selections so I could calculate a ROI(return on investment)on each Player. Would also need to query ROI of player by track by day by distance of race, etc. Would like other users to be able to query the past selections of the contest players. I can get the track and horse entries in a file. Is it possible to import that data daily into the database. I can also get the daily results in a file. Is it possible to import that data daily. What I really want to know is can I totally automate this process. I don't want to have to manually enter data each day (there would be too many mistakes).

One last question can Fabrik be used to make a betting calculator like this http://www.betcalc.com/eqprofitcalc.php

thanks

wow quiet a lot there.
You can import data from CSV files into Fabrik
You could probably filter the table data to show only those races that are being run today.
You can certainly create records to store which users selected which horse.
The calculation bit i'm not sure on, you may need to do some custom programming to get that bit done
