    I'm looking for someone to show me how to webscrape data from different sites? In return I will help you become a winning sports bettor.

    Thanks

    Doubt anyone is gonna take you up on this offer. If you don't want to put in the time learn some scripting language www.outwit.comwww.outwit.com works pretty nice. Most of the stuff you want to pull can be grabbed via one of the tabs (text, tables, etc). You can export to csv, sql, txt. Pretty slick product. You can use it for free for small data sets, otherwise a license is like $30.
    Good luck.

        ...lets see, you take your mouse, and hold the button down from the top of the screen so it "blackens" the page...and then you hit the right mouse button and click copy, and then you paste it into your fav-o-rite MicroSoft product (Word, excel, etc.) and paste it in there...try it different ways: HTML, or text, and eventually something will get pasted up in there...

        OK, now your turn: tell me the good shit.

            OP, You should probably learn to program. And become a regular expression expert.

              Just say no to regular expressions.



              Use an XML parser. Personally, I use C# and HtmlAgilityPack.

                That was pretty funny.
