Prefer Arsenal to win than City if I’m honest.

Ryan

Liverpool all depends a few changes and you could see them change a lot!

Two good early prices:

Crystal Palace to beat Rayo Vallecano at EVENS

PSG to beat Arsenal at 7/5

Richard Latimer

@Ryan at least Haaland scoring at the end makes it easier for you.

Ryan

The thing that annoyed me most as I didnt want City to win the league but I did want them to beat Bournemouth to secure the champs league for Liverpool which is sorta done on GD but despite Liverpools best efforts they have kinda got lol

Richard Latimer

@Alex-Rendell are you kidding!?

The s**t we've taken over the years!! Now it's our time

Alex Rendell

@Richard-Latimer probably shouldn't admit to that!!! (being an Arsenal fan, I mean, not the solo sambucca)

Richard Latimer

Championi Championi!!!! GET IN!!!

Arsenal champions again after 22 long years. Had a shot of Sambucca on my own haha!!!

Patrik Mellqvist

On a winning strike +6 curios how long it will continue ...
Not anything special but with 100+ Euro stakes is a drill ...

Cheers

@Alex-Rendell No, I'm just using the basic. It's not ideal as only gives last traded price I think rather than specific back/lay prices. Just come across one game where it's given me a price of 2.62 on Sturm the other day when bookies had priced it up as over 3 on average so I'm not sure when it took that price from. On the whole though it's good enough for me.

Removed that hiccup. It's worth doing. Download python, get AI to show you how to use pandas (yes I know it sounds weird haha!) and I'll post the full script as it's taken me ages to get AI to give me what I really needed.

Richard Latimer

I think removing betfair prices from tp sites is starting to look a little deliberate.

@Richard-Latimer Oh wow, that could be a game-changer?! Are you paying for the data or using the free downloadable stuff? Might be an avenue I want to investigate if it's possible to pull the data at a set time each morning?

Still no fix on the site that I use yet!

Richard Latimer

@Alex-Rendell I've managed to get ai to write me a script for python. Took me days fiddlng but it's going to save me so much time. Populates a spreadsheet with all the prices I need. Just have to download from betfair every day then extract files to a specific folder.

Have the betfair prices come back for you yet?

Richard Latimer

@Alex-Rendell yeah that's what I've got and I'm really struggling with the betfair historical data downloads. Doing my nut to be fair!

Alex Rendell

@Richard-Latimer perhaps? Nope still not up and running again yet, hasn't been able to pull any price data since late on the 21st/early 22nd
