Can you use sbrlines to see past lines?

cobra_king · 01-20-09, 02:04 AM

Not on SBR Odds per se, but you can access archived odds by going through the home page.

https://www.sbrforum.com

Then go to "odds and scores" of whatever sport you want.

Be aware though that although very useful, not all of the information is accurate. Other spots are covers and vegas insider to see past odds and scores.

What do you mean with past lines?
You can check the line history for a specific book if you click in the line box. You can see only the line history of the current games if what you want to see is the line history of a game from last week for example the system doesn't provide that.

it does durito showed me a link a while ago, and it had all the past games + line movements. i'm assuming onlooker's link is the same. you can see games from last week or even last year.

my only problem is that sometimes it's inaccurate. and also if i snoop around for a while there will be a few links that SEEMS will block ur IP for 30 minutes. i have NO idea why. but numerous times i'd be checking lines, get to a certain one and never be able to load the page, and i'd be blocked for 30 minutes from all things SBR, including forum. one example would be the Texas Tech-Baylor game in NCAAB this month.

i don't know about the ip part, but there are certainly inaccuracies.

mostly it's missing games. the software seems to lose games that finish after 12eastern. it's been like this for years, i've mentioned it to them several times. if you need somewhere to get accurate daily data, it can't be here.

Masu485,

You should not be getting blocked at all. This is a serious issue and one that we will fix as soon as possible. Would you mind talking through PM's to troubleshoot?

As far as data consistency, we try our hardest to make sure our data is up to date and accurate. If you do ever see any discrepancies, please bring them to my attention (or any mod really) and we will correct the data, heck we might even throw in a lollipop for your help.

I've definitely noticed this problem in the past, too, but if you could provide a few specific examples it would greatly help us in tracking this issue down.

Sorry, I should have checked on it more recently, as far as I can tell it's working fine now.

All I can find is the 8/30 games from this post:

http://forum.sbrforum.com/site-suggestions/93065-nfl-odds-scores-archive-im-having-problem.html#post1004519

Never showed up.

Just a quick look at another NCAAF saturday and I see:

Missing 11/1/08:

385/386 Rice @ UTEP
387/388 Utah @ New Mexico
389/390 Arizona St. @ Oregon St.

Some older data is missing too, like:

http://www.sbrforum.com/Scores/NFL+Odds/20071126.aspx (no monday nights actually for the whole season)

Cool. Thanks. We'll look into the missing data (although I suspect it's probably lost by now) and if you see any issues going forward please either LMK or send an e-mail to cs@sbrforum.com.

Trying to build a better SBR.

Since we are on this subject of lost data is there any chance of recovering the final 9 days of this past MLB season? Or the Oct. 23,24,25,27 data from this hockey season?

I'll have someone look into why this occurred, but I'd suggest not getting your hopes up too high as far as recovery of the missing data goes.

Ganchrow · 01-23-09, 10:44 AM

If you clear your cache you should be able to see data for all the dates you mentioned except 10/27 in NHL and 9/24 in MLB.

Still looking in to those 2 days ...

Ganchrow · 01-23-09, 03:17 PM

Alright ... the data for the two missing days has been recovered (thanks to Mario and Jonathan). If you clear your cache you should be able to see it.

Let me know if you find any other holes.

cobra_king · 01-23-09, 03:56 PM

Thank you gentlemen.

thespeculator · 02-02-09, 07:10 PM

that is one area covers is actually very useful in , you go through the wagerline.com sight

LVHerbie · 02-07-09, 10:06 AM

wow, this is something I didn't know existed on SBR... makes it real easy to quickly look up historical lines and changes... thanks for this...

I have noticed this many times as well. Very frustrating when back testing systems etc.

We're tracking down these problem one-by-one as we find them.

You can e-mail cs@<a href="http://www.sbrodds.com/"...rodds.com/</a> with any missing data issues.

1. Does covers or wagerline show specific line moves per book? What I like about SBR is they show pinnacle, 5dimes, etc, moves. From what I see on wagerline they only show the general spread/total moves, not the individual books lines.

2. Does covers or wagerline show money lines? For NFL I only see spread and total.

3. Does one need to register to covers/wagerline to see more line history detail?
