Pinnacle Line Move Question

**strixee** · 03-05-12, 07:53 AM

what is the best way to analyze line moves? I am using oddsportal and the graphs from betfair... is there any other good option?

Are you doing that manually? BTW if you are watching Pinny odds changes at OP, many movements are missing, because of slow sampling. So if you see a change 2.00-1.91 at OP, it can actually be 2.00-1.97-1.94-1.91.

No but some still have in-house guys taking a view rather than just using BetRadar and tracking the Asians ...

Stan James is often 'generous' on over/under lines in Euro football relative to the rest of the UK market, and more often than not it's a trap and they are laughing at the final whistle.

If you knew any of the clowns that price up their markets you would retract your post. The place is a circus with a revoving door where new clowns come and go, they're considered a joke in the industry.

How can i track line movements automatically and what are significant indicators i am looking for? I am very interested in this.

Indicators are different for each individual bettor.

The easiest way is to store values from Pinnacle XML feed every 30s into MySQL database.

Do you know if I can get open & close prices archived somewhere without having to parse them myself?

**strixee** · 03-06-12, 06:21 AM

Open and close prices are available almost everywhere. Even at SBR http://www.sbrforum.com/betting-odds/

I know that, I use sbr or oddsportal to look at them but I was wondering if they can be found archived like the data in csv format from http://www.football-data.co.uk/.
