Evening everyone,I am looking at researching info with regards to the Betfair SP and therefore I am looking at the historical Betfair SP's.Betfair have them here in one handy Zip file for up to and including the:after this date they seem to be here but in individual files for each and every day, nearly 1,500 days/files:can't say I fancy going through each and every file and downloading it as I will be doing it forever.So does anyone know of a place that has them all in the one place or similar or do you really have to click on each file?Cheers. I've got all the files, It will take a while to upload to my server, but when it's done I'll stick a download link here.Haven't done anything with them, it's just all the.csv files zipped up into 4 separate.zip filesukwin.zip 20Mbukplace.zip 18Mbirewin.zip 6Mbireplace.zip 5Mb.
Betfair In Running Prices
Links to follow shortly (maybe tomorrow morning as the upload is going quite slow)are the csv files joined into one for UKwin etc or just all the separate files cran?No need to reply just saw they're all separate. Have now combined the data into just 4.csv files (ukwin, ukplace, irewin, ireplace)You'll need a later version of Excel or a Database (MySQL and MS SQLServer Express are both free) to use them as there are a lot of records242100 + 229502 + 81763 + 79829 = 633191 rowsHere's the linksspdataukwin.zip 17Mb (15Mb (5M (4Mb (fun. Thanks for that guys, you've saved alot of people a lot of hassle downloading those files, myself included and and mine was automated to put them all into a database at a click of a button, but they soon mount up and I was missing maybe 2000 of them so saved me a lot of download time:)I'd echo Cran's recommendation for MYSQL, it's free, fast and makes easy work of drilling down the data to whatever you want in seconds. Plenty of help on the net if you get stuck as it's free and the query commands are usually nothing more than a line of code. With all due respect to those advocating mySQL and SQL Express, and with my MCSE hat on (if there was a spitting emoticon, I'd use it), I'd say, given the nature of the data being imported, i.e. A flat file database, combined with the fact that not all members here are technojocks, folks would be better off using OpenOffice Database (free) or MS Access (not free).These are much simpler to install/use than the aforementioned SQL suggestions for the simple, albeit, large table of data that is being downloaded. Both applications can easily handle the amount of records contained therein.
You need to be slightly technical to analyse the data.I agree Access would be great if you already have it for this amount of data, but the advice on free databases was for people who don't already have a database.I've never tried Openoffice but is another free alternative if you don't have Access and don't want MySQL or MS SQL Server.I'd echo that to analyse large amounts of data properly you'll have to do some ground work whatever app you use. I've never used Open Office so no idea how easy that is but I find access a steeper learning curve than mySQL. I did a report on the data for Leon and it was as simple as one line in mySQLSELECT., MIN (BSP) FROM `stats` WHERE BSp 0 GROUP BY `EVENTID`Obviously you can run the same reports in access and open office but for me I'm sure it'd be a lot more than one line to get the result.brumbie, if you wanted to try mySQL and php download one of the installer packages like xammp (it'll take all the hard work out of installing them separately and give you a prog called phpmyadmin that links mySQL and php with an easy to use interface. SELECT., MIN (BSP) FROM `stats` WHERE BSp 0 GROUP BY `EVENTID`Obviously you can run the same reports in access and open office but for me I'm sure it'd be a lot more than one line to get the result.You can do exactly the same in Access. On the query page there is an SQL tab where your one liner would work just fine.:cool:There's also an import wizard that'll load up the csv file into a new table for you in a couple of mouse clicks without you needing to create the table first or write any code. Howdoo all,My first posting, so please be gentle with me. Anyhow, brumbie said:I basically wanted it to analyse in running prices for horses.FWIW, and in the hope of saving you a bit of time, I've done a bit of analysis of the data you're talking about here.
It's not entirely useful if you want to see how the odds on any given horse move pre-off or in-play, because it only shows the min and max values for any given horse, by race. There's no way to discern at what point in time those odds were taken.I think this is deliberate - BF offer a paid-for 'time-stamped' data service, from Fracsoft at data.betfair.com (Again, fwiw though, I've tried it and could never get it to work properly!I suspect that BF are a bit cagey about releasing 'real time' odds movement data other than through Fracsoft - though if you have enough technical nous there are ways of dragging this data out. I believe BetDevil had something that used to be able to do it, but it got pulled.Anyhow, as far as the 'static' horse racing data goes, I've got the lot.
And I've got a heavyweight application for analysing it courtesy of the database stuff I do for a living. In truth though, I've yet to find anything I can do with it that beats the info you can already find for free at Adrian Massey's (rather excellent site. However, if anyone's got anything they'd like looking at that they think might be hidden in the data, let me know and I'll see if I can dig it out.Phew. Aren't I going on a bit. Suffice to say that I'm slightly better with data than I am at trading.
Not that that's saying much.;)Cheers all,duffer. That's the historical data.If anyone wants the SP data I did an update of the files this morning.The data covers races upto 22nd January 2011spdata.zip (all races) (same data is also available in 4 separate filesspdataukwin.zip ((((http://www.nielda.co.uk/betfairimages/spdataireplace.zip).
