Web Scrapping Programmer Required

[methodman]

I would like an Excel worksheet to collect price info from Oddschecker and return it to a worksheet. If anybody can help with this or would like to give me a price it would be much appreciated.

I've used a Web Query Data Import with bestbetting.com before without a problem. Very easy to do.

Doris Day - it may be easy for you but I haven't got a clue. Had a look at the excel web query but it just returns a load of unformatted data and as far as I can work out it doesn't contain the odds only references to the various 3rd party sites that supply it.

So if anybody can give any usefull help it will be much appreciated.

If you are taking about horse racing odds from Bestbetting. they start around row 200. The horse's name is in col H with the odds in the adjacent columns. You are best to select the decimal option before importing.

[Ian]

Not column H, column F, if you've imported into A1.

Thanks Ian - don't really know what your talking about but will have another look at it when I have time.

has taught me alot about scraping data.

Also check out The Puners Lounge General Betting Tools, and look for a thread about Getting RP Data.
