Hello, for you who can access to betfair historical data, I have red that the format in which Betfair is giving away data since 2015 isn't very user friendly at least for the free basic package.
I would like to know if with the paid package you are able to download also the chart of all the matches, along with all the data. I mean the red chart which usually is shown in Betfair when you check the depth of market.

This one:

In answer to your pm and email, no it’s not possible to get the Betfair charts although Betangel have some saved somewhere but I don’t have the link. Using the historical data you can attempt to recreate them.

So you don't download the charts themselves, but only the odds changing, so you can recreate them?

There is no way to download the betfair chart?

I know that wasn't the answer you wanted but asking the same question again isn't likely to result in a different answer.

There is:

- Pay a programmer to write software that downloads charts at the scheduled start of every race or match.
- Rent a web server for $5 a month
- Put the software on the web server

This way you'll build your own personal archive of Betfair charts.

I'm a software programmer, if you got money to spend, drop me a private message.

You'll have to offer a competitive price, programmers will be falling over themselves to write software for Luca. ;)

The FAQ will have to be replaced with the Most Unexpected Questions. Can you include in the package 24/7 support? :lol:

Now, wouldn't it be cool if you paid Northbound for the software (he might charge a bit more than that to justify the time), set up your server, and then Betfair was to shut down. :lol:

100ish....yikes :D Unless I'm grossly underestimating the work involved in building that software, then you're in for a nasty surprise if 100ish is your starting point.

I know the pound is running a bit low these days, but the UK isn't quite the new IT version of India just yet. Or did I miss that news bit :lol:

I charged £120 for a PC accounting package, but that was the 1980's (5.25" floppy disks) and I was just 17!

Luca, make sure you find out how much Northbound charges per hour for customer support. :lol:
