Hi everyone, I would like to try and dig out historical football half-time match odds, just H-D-A. Any ideas where I can find some?

Oops saw you were looking for odds not results, dunno if anywhere will have recorded the bookie odds and made them freely available tbh

I expect you are right and thanks for responding spreadbetting … I couldn't find anything. It's just that looking at a football match as a game of two halves (I'm sure I've heard that before :lol: ) is becoming more popular particularly the "if [this] at half time then do [that]" approach but without the odds it's difficult to look back to see if it really works without filtering and without the odds it's difficult to do through filtering. :)

Have you looked at the betfair data files see if they're any use, even the free ones are supposedly timestamped every minute so that should be sufficient to get the ht odds

I was rather hoping your comment meant that Betfair had sorted this at last as it's been unavailable other than the racing BSP's for ages but no, in fact it's now worse than it was earlier this year … all I get now is a blank white screen with "Build 2018-10-03" in the middle just like …






Build 2018-10-03







At least before I could get the order page up even if it didn't produce anything!!

Does anyone have any news about it?

On 30/05/2019 Betfair advised "Appreciate this is very frustrating. The delays are primarily due to the time its taking to migrate the existing data to the new backend storage system. This is taking longer than expected and is 2 weeks behind schedule at the moment" on the Developer Forum.

On 28/06/2019 they posted "Unfortunately, there's no update on the ETA at the moment. We'll post an updated ETA as soon as we have an accurate one. Apologies for the inconvenience."

They are also advising "If you have specific data requirements for the Nov 18 [2018] - May19 [2019] data please contact us via Developer Support (https://support.developer.betfair.co...s/requests/new) and we can arrange to share this via a separate system". I don't know what this means but I am contacting them, let's see what they say.
