Hi,

Does anybody know where I can get my hands on historical Data for football starting prices?

Is there an alternative to Fracsoft? I don't want to be able to replay a market just want the SP's so I'm hoping there's a site that will give this info.

Thanks in advance

Thats 'almost' a brilliant link Auldsoldier thanks...

Its much clearer and easier to use than Betfairs historical data but unfortunately it doesnt give historical odds for Betfair.

Thanks again

I have found that for Betfair, home odds are almost the same as the average, draw slightly higher (5 to 10%) and away odds are between 40 - 60% higher.

I found the best way to convert to betfair if required was to assume a perfect market (ie no overround) and then do

(1/away odds) = 1 - (1/home odds) + (1/draw odds)

If you use my assumptions (emperically tested) you will not be too far off.

Hope this helps
