Tabcorp data
Several months ago Tabcorp replace its ‘Live Odds’ web service with the ‘RapidBet’ web service at the same time restricting its download of dividends information to account holders with a turnover of at least $25,000 per annum. Smaller punters who were using the data for their own purposes were left out.
I was wondering what some of those smaller punters did to reclaim that dividend information, if anything. The only options I could see at the time were- 1. Increase betting turnover to reach the minimum $25000 turn over requirement. 2. Buy in the data from a 3rd party. Around $50 per month? 3. Scrape dividends from the Tab.Mobi web site. For my part I switched my betting to TattsBet where I could use its xml service. Perhaps someone has found another way round the problem? |
Hi Debug, who's the 3rd party you mention?
|
Hi Stugots,
I may have been using the ‘3rd party’ term a bit loosely but I was thinking of Subscription data. There are probably others who provide Tabcorp data in the form of an xml or text file at a cost. |
Hi debug,
Subscription Data is very reliable and fast, much cheaper than $25000 betting turnover (unless you are winning of course). |
Thanks Mattio,
True it would be much cheaper than the $25,000 per year. Knowing my lack of success winnings would not help much. I still think that Tabcorp should provide some option for its smaller punters in the form of a file of current runner dividends, even limited access to the RapiBet web service would do. After all I am sure there are a lot of punters who would welcome an opportunity to do their own thing with their personnel software. |
