Principles

  • For a given sporting event, I collect the URL's from the 9 bookies listed below which lead directly to the page containing their odds for that event.
  • For each bookie I get the page and run a bookie-specific XSL to extract the odds info. I store this in a common XML file
  • Once this is finished I take the XML file and calculate
    • the % coverage for each bookie, i.e. the % that the bookie will make if I cover all outcomes
    • the bookie which gives the best price for a particular outcome
    • the % coverage given the best prices for all outcomes
  • If the % coverage is less than 100% then I signal this to whoever is listening

Bookies who allow withdrawals to credit-card without fees
