Hi guys,

I’ve come across LinusPs github page containing various python scripts. I’m not a coder but have some very basic VBA experience.

How easy/difficult would it be to put together a program to scrape odds from Betfair using the scripts?

If it is relatively straightforward I may have a go, if not I’ll probably pay someone else to do it for me.

Thanks

Just get Bet Angel to record them, much easier.

Thanks Peter. Would Bet Angel be able to record at the same granularity? Ie streaming in-play prices?

Happy days. Hopefully the logging 'efficiency' has also improved?

Ooooooohhhh you tease!

Roughly what timescale are you looking at? If it’s days I’ll wait, if it’s weeks/months I’ll press ahead. Thanks

That sounds like the best bit of news since Arsenal won the PL at Old Trafford! :D
(or was it that game at Anfield)
