    Sportsbook xml feeds

    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.

    Excellent question and would appreciate this too. I always figured I'd have to buy SI this summer for it. Would appreciate this too!

    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.

    in the context of this thread, most bookies put their odds into an xml feed for affiliates to load on their site and show live odds feeds

    Me too. BW - where are you getting your weather data? Weatherground using zip codes was the way I was considering, but haven't yet.

    Good question...

    Quote Originally Posted by IrishTim View Post

    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.

    If your not a programmer.. use MX-Excel

    I use ASP on a server read into an access database.

    You can save XML (click file save) in your browser and then load it
    into any spreadsheet like MS-Excel or a free spread sheet like GNU.

    Once in a spreadsheet you can sort, do calculations etc.

    No backend needed...

    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.

    this suits me as it enables me to scrape and bet automatically beating the conventional means without getting instructions from head office

    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...
