the same thing is happening to me too

yesterday I managed to make a scrap but today is not happening I think it has to do with the script code

[dvwooly]

same here, doesn't like line 51 .... if (x[1][0] - x[0][0]) >= 0.1:

[spreadbetting]

Just change the line

Code: Select all

if bool(Runners) == True and ('OR' in grade or 'A' in grade):

to

Code: Select all

if bool(Runners) == True and ('OR' in grade or 'A' in grade) and len(Runners.items())>1:

Used to all work fine when it was originally done so maybe the newer versions of python are more picky. Basically where there's only data for one runner the line (x[1][0] - x[0][0]) fails because x[1][0] doesn't exist.

Those differences are massive ...

That happens when you have dogs who’s last race was a sprint race or they ran over shorter distances to what there running in today.

Because of this we refined it to only look at races where ALL the dogs had run type ‘A’ races previously. Then we gave weighting to the times if a dog was stepping up or down in grade for this race. Then a weighting based on Trap stats for the tracks.

[spreadbetting]

Those differences are massive ...

The problem is the sporting life site doesn't limit the times to the race distance so you'd get weird results of 10+ seconds. More a starting point and exercise on scraping than a working model

[Archery1969]

You might be better off just using the betfair greyhound form data. Although i not sure its that easy to scrape.

In theory Trap 4 in this race ticks all the boxes. Assign 100 points for each input, total them up and then calculate odds etc.

Trap 1 = 200 points
Trap 2 = 200 points
Trap 3 = 300 points
Trap 4 = 600 points
Trap 5 = 100 points
Trap 6 = 300 points

Trap 4 = 1700 / 600 = 2.83. So if Trap 4's back odds are > 2.83 then you can back it, if you think that represents value.

can you explain what the output is telling me

I think we have to read the beginning of the topic I also wanted to know what the output means

The output is telling you those dogs from each race are the fastest by x seconds over the nearest rival in the race.

As a guide;

As a general rule in determining short distances: 0.08 secs = 1 length, 0.04 secs = 1/2 length, 0.03 secs = a neck, 0.02 secs = head and 0.01 secs = short head.

Although the actual time to run a length, may be fractionally quicker 0.0676 secs = 1 length.

looks like we all jumping on the Python Train
