Did anyone used oddsminer.com to get historical lines? How accurate are they?

Also what was the experience if any with Don Best historical lines? I tried loading their full data for a particular sport (say NHL), and find that a lot of it messy (e.g. hard to figure out which ones are halftime lines and which are game lines, as they often mix them together). Did anyone use their full historical data archive or always went for closing game lines only? Any tips on how to approach their full gameline data would be appreciated...

I downloaded CFL football from Don Best with a copy and paste, went pretty smoothly. I used the lines from Covers though, just used DB for quarter scores (as I remember), so I didn't worry about their lines.

Scores are probably fine, (did not use their scores), but lines are quite tricky to process, if we are not talking about closing lines. If one wants to process their full archive (including halftimes), it becomes quite complicated... I was wondering if anyone undertook that job (for any sport), and if they were able to distinguish between halftime/game point spreads for instance?

I looked at getting half time lines from Don Best, but I couldn't figure out which numbers were half times and which were full game lines. There didn't seem to be enough consistency to warrant the effort to get possibly flawed data (which, IMO, would be MUCH worse than no data at all).
