I code scrapers and a lot of them grab the Pinnacle line. they offer the option of displaying the odds in 3 different formats, American, Decimal, HongKong. my question is what do you append to the url to make display always American? On there old page a couple of years ago (before they added all that javascript) it always defaulted to American and you had to choose the others. Now it seems random. I coded a routine to convert the output of the scrape to American, but it's pissing me off cuz one time I figured out how to force it and now I can't remember how to do it. it's something like:


http://www.pinnaclesports.com/lines....aseball&league
=mlb&periods=1&ctl00$PSDDL=%22american%22

also how about embedding usernameassword in URL?

thanks in advance
