    I would use DonBest, true they're on the expensive side

    There are less expensive options like pregame.com, however I don't trust the odds or percentages to be accurate, as a handicapper you have to trust the data you receive

    Thanks for asking Jazzmonkey.

    Promoting any sort of personal site or service is not allowed here. Especially if it competes with an SBR product (which an odds/scores service does) So best to not mention it at all on here.

    Send me a PM if you want to discuss it.

    I'm having my trial with DonBest right now. It's good, but not the best for soccer. Missing a lot of books that I have access to.

    How feasible is it to find someone on UpWork to build me a similar product with all the books I need? Would surely be less expensive long term.

    Relatively. For personal projects I have gone through Upwork with mixed success, guess it depends how quickly you need the odds? The faster you need them, the more regularly you need to hit the books and the better you need to be.

    It won't be paying someone to build the tool that is difficult. It will be maintaining and updating it to keep it both working and accurate that will end up the biggest job.

    If you can afford the time, much better to learn how to build it yourself so you will able to keep it tweaked and working as data sources change.

    Yes, maintenence is the biggest hurdle on such a project. It may be a better option to get the books and markets you want though.

    As badbeatbox mentioned earlier in the thread, Don Best don't provide much support for European bookmakers.

    In any expensive data feed service you find, there are suprising and frustating gaps.

    @Jazzmonkey thanks for the DM.

    I can't respond until my post count is 40.

    I think I do actually have an email of yours from around 2012, i'll try to dig it out....

    Looking for something similar that covers all the US legal books as well as overseas.

    If I could find one for live odds I would willing to pay a ton. Seems like it would be nearly impossible though.

    They should not be blocked from there.

    Also check out https://www.oddstrader.com/

    Using a VPN would likely resolve that.

    Just so you know, the limitations as to what books and what lines are shown are entirely a matter of the queries you make. Oddstrader, SBR Odds, and https://www.oddsmarket.com/ are all using SBR's main feed, just with different parameters. Graphql is convenient like that.

    Once you figure out how to properly work with graphql queries and use the socket.io based live feed SBR provides it's likely the most flexible yet complete one-stop-shop for data such as what you need, that doesn't require out of pocket costs. Now, I'm just hoping that they're not going to make any more changes to the schema, at which point more formal, if unofficial, sdks and libraries can build on top of that instead of fretting over breaking changes (which were legion over the past 2 years, and also largely with little documentation). They seemed to have settled down last 6 months or so so that may actually just be the best option. With SBR's permission of course.
