I like to bet on soccer (futbol) games and currently I spend a lot of time researching stats to enable me to make my selections. I'm look for an app, programmed with my criteria that will go out to these site and grab all the data for me. Then it would need to do the calculations for me and then tell me which teams I should bet on. I would also need for it to keep these selections in a database for future reference. The software would also need to go out and get the results the game to basically tell me if I won or loss. I see that this heavily relies on the websites that i'm getting the data from....I get the data from 4 websites: 1. http://www.bookmaker.com/sportsbook.aspx 2. http://www.soccervista.com/ 3. http://www.soccerway.com/ 4. http://www.oddsway.com/ I think that web site 1. will be the hardest to get the data from. Once you're on the site you will want to look at and click on the left where it says "soccer" and then click on each individual league and then the date to bring up the latest odds for each game. I only look at games who's odds fall under a certain filter of mine. On each of these sites I collect data specific to what i'm looking for. What I currently do now is use an Excel sheet to write down all the data I collect and then I run some basic calculations off the data and use filters to remove games I don't like and once a game passes all the criteria i set forth then i wager on it. Let me know what other information is needed.
