Does anyone have a master list of xml feeds for various sportsbooks? Like Pinnacle's odds feeds?
I'm curious how many books offer this.
Justin I am writing weather vs line software for 2010 college and pro.
It will be free on the web this year. (maybe subscription next...)
Already have a good start... going to put it all up on the web for free (this year) including real time wind data, live radar, airport weather and PWS Personsal Weather (PWS) for every college game this year.
With the result that all games, weather and ratings can be seen at a glance on game day! Have the web space.... NFL & College 2010 event databases and
all the weather setup 90% done.
I am already parsing XML weather data into database using ASP in real time. Looking for a fellow ASP programmer that is interested in helping to write the software that grab and show lines in near real time.
Any ASP or MS-Access programmers out there interested in working on an open source weather vs the line betting project ?
Programmer speak for a plain text file that has organized data like in
a personal phone book for example....
Name: xxxxx
Address: xxxxx
City: xxx
state: xxx
An xml file containing organized data can then be downloaded
and used in a spreadsheet or database... in our case to track or
predict betting related trends.
Me too. BW - where are you getting your weather data? Weatherground using zip codes was the way I was considering, but haven't yet.
Weather underground does not allow commercial (without paying)
I am using their radar because my game day page will be a free service
this year...
All of the following will show for each team on one very big game day page ...
- Static Radar pic for each game... weather underground. (linked to live radar.)
- Current Observations... NWS - Hourly - XML
- Game time Forecast... NWS - Hourly - XML
- Links to all the Personal Weather Stations in same city as game.
PWS are updated every couple of minutes!
FYI - Weather underground takes city,state or ZIP or Lat-Lon or 4 letter station
codes. My stadium database has all three as well as N-S or E-W orientation.
Thanks to this thread by Justin, I will have live line data and history that
can later be searched. Hoping to go one step farther and break down weather vs 1st half totals and 2nd half totals.
Some of the things I want to incorporate and also track is the fumble record of college QBs and how they do with a wet ball. (Passing yards on wet ball day)
Also completions by receiver(s) on a wet ball day. (for next year)
Looking to track these things for a year while betting lightly and then bet very
heavy next year. Like $10k a game.
Should be ready to go by early August... the only thing slowing me down is that I am waiting for www.sportscal.com to put out their college schedule in Comma Separated Format.
I look forward to your results. I hope you have opening and closing lines.
Thanks to you and this thread I will have live line data and history that

What language are you using for the backend? C#, VB.net?
If were distributing an old fashion diskette based app I would use Visual Basic.
My expertise is in database driven web sites.
Since all my current endeavors are web based I use Active Server Pages (ASP) to update and query MS-Access databases on any MS server.
ASP is just like visual basic. It came out before vb.net came out, is much
easier to use and can do 99.9% of what vb.net can do.
Even hosts like a Go Daddy $4.99 account supports ASP and MS-Access Databases.
Only a very experienced ASP web site programmer could offer me some help.
Specifically, I could use help setting up a play money betting system and user management system for the site. This way you could track your own play bets!

Ah, gotcha. I've always used ASP for display and C# to handle the real work.

The database design would be pretty straight forward, if you need help with that pm me. With the actual programming I wouldn't be any help.
AJAX (XML retrieval using client side javascript ) is cool because you don't need to reload a whole web page when for example you want to update the lines every couple minutes or so...
Also you can use AJAX-XML to be an affiliate site to one of the sports books and
update lines every couple of minutes using the XML feeds listed above in this
post.
The only problem with using it instead of writing to a database first is that
you don't have a database. Which means you don't have any history and
can't do any statistics against the data later.

just any normal site?
someone here should do this for us and link to it

this suits me as it enables me to scrape and bet automatically beating the conventional means without getting instructions from head office
I've completed my first task ... automatic gathering of all UK/IRE horse races for a given day with 'best book odds' determination and best back/lay levels on Betfair to assist with trading and laying
SportsInsights.com now provides another way to get real-time line updates. We offer packages that allow you to tap into our platform and receive odds in XML format of any of the sportsbooks we offer on the site. You can also gain access to an XML feed of our comprehensive injury database. Please visit the site or contact us for details.

if you are doing this open source, put it on github or google code and i and others would take a look and help out...

if you are getting ajax updates you should be able to scrape them and build a database. python has a lot of good libraries for this...
