I need a programmer who possibly has some knowledge of the online betting world. This is not necessary, but it would save a lot of time.
The software I want should be rather simple, if one understands what I'm looking for.
However here is a long description of the desired output, I hope it's clear. Email or PM me for every question, I have also useful screenshots.
Budget: 50/200 USD (sorry I don't know if this project requires 1 hour or 1 year), no problem to pay 50% in advance if you accept Neteller or Moneybookers.
I want a software which scans two websites (betfair.com and bodog.com), and retrieves the odds for the sports events listed on both sites. IMPORTANT: I want only the odds for the events listed on BOTH sites (bodog generally has less events).
Here is what the software has to do:
1. Scan Betfair and Bodog and find the events listed on both sites.
2. Retrieve the odds for these events, being careful with the kind of odds (moneyline or final result, spread, asian handicap, etc. PM me if you want me to explain this).
3. Export the odds in an Excel spreadsheet, as in the attached file.
Other instructions:
1. Betfair is not a bookmaker, but a betting exchange. So you'll find several odds for one single event, representing bid and ask (or back and lay, in betting language). The back odds are those in light blue, the lay odds are those in pink. The software has to retrieve the lowest (if more than one) lay (pink) odd.
2. The odds format is different in Betfair (EU style) and Bodog (US style). All I care is that the software retrieves the number and exports it to excel as number, then I'll make the necessary adjustment manually.
3. A sort of refresh button would be nice, as the odds are subject to changes.
4. Be very careful with the events the software has to compare. It can happen that you find different names for same events (V. Williams, or Venus Williams, or simply Williams) or same sports (football in the English Betfair, Soccer for the US Bodog. This doesn't happen if you choose English N. America as language on Betfair).
