Sources of raw odds data?

Sat Nov 14, 2015 6:22 pm

Hi guys.

Where do the alert services get their data from?  I've looked at most of the top 10 rated on SRB and only Pinnacle seems to offer an XML data feed.  As everyone else keeps their live data behind a logon screen I suspect my account wouldn't last long if I started scraping all their pages every minute.

Is there any alternative?

maybe you could scrape the data from sites like betbrain and oddsportal?

another possibility is to buy XML-feeds from guys who have acces to them.

Thanks.  May I ask what kind of "creative" tends to be successful?

Are those sites typically up to date enough to be of any use?
