Betfair csv files

[vanbuuts]

Seems like Betfair have pulled the plug on there promo site that used to provide handy daily csv files.

Hopefully juts a temporary glitch, but seems like these are now being made available at £99 per month in a .tar format download only in monthly batches/

Yep it's annoying, I collected them daily using a bot to dump them into a mysql database but it's been flaky for a while now. Looks like they've finally pulled the plug. Bit annoying as I'd been collecting them for years but to be honest don't think I've ever gathered anything too interesting from them so might be a blessing in disguise.

I'll have to look at the free stuff they're currently providing see it that replaces the current BSP files. I doubt I'd need the £99 option but I suppose if it is does win you money £25 a week isn't that much to pay.

Just ran my code again and it's retreived today's files and my missing ones from earlier in the week.

Seems the site is back up again so might just be erratic rather than taken down as it's used for the BSP data rather than the all the price data the other data files hold.

HI CS, yes noted they had returned mid-afternoon. Very strange.

A great source of data - hopefully it continues
