Ask HN: Database for sports betting lines and results

5 pointspjharrin2 comments

Are there any databases that have where betting lines started, where they ended and the result of the match? I'm interested in doing some analysis on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That kind of data may be hard to find for free, at least in a nicely digestible way. At FanPulse, we pay for a feed of stats, which includes live stats as well as historic data as well. These stats providers keep their info tightly cutoff from non-paying clients. I wonder where else you could find it.

Some stats providers we know include: xmlteam and sportsdirectinc.com

Best I know of is bestfightodds.com for MMA betting, they record changes in the lines from start to fight time. Not exactly open for use though, may have to contact/friendly up some.
