Hi guys. I am looking to set up a database examining betting patterns in Rugby League handicaps. If you're not familiar with the sport, the scoring is similar enough to football (both sides generally end up between 0 and 50 points but most often somewhere near 20) to be comparable. The betting is similar too - it's just like betting on football handicaps.
What I imagine is this. Every week at the start of the weekend I would put in the "standard" handicap line available pre-match for every game. At the end of the weekend I would put in the result of every game. As my database develops I'm looking to be able to get the answers to questions like
If I back a team every week of the season what was the net result? What % of the time did they beat the handicap.
If I back home underdogs with a habdicap of less than 4 what was the net result and % win rate.
If I back a team coming off a 30+ point loss what was the net result and % win rate.
....and other similar questions I'm sure you can guess the type of thing. My question was - are there any pre-packaged databases for that can do what I'm after (football is a far more developed betting market than Rugby League so I thought I'd ask here). If not are there any guides to setting up such a database or advice on which software to use? I'm pretty much a novice in this area so I don't want to start inputting my data and then find six months later that I need to redo the lot.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
