All files are available in CSV/Excel format for PC Windows operating systems, and are at least updated twice weekly (Sunday nights and Wednesday nights). CSV format is the industry standard comma delimited file format allowing compatibility with many computer spreadsheet applications. Commas are used to separate columns of data. They will only be seen if a CSV file is opened in a text editor. Football-Data's preferred spreadsheet application is Microsoft Excel, offering a full range of analytical functions to test betting systems developed from match and odds data. Whilst specific soccer betting software programmes exist to predict match outcomes, Football-Data prefers to encourage punters to learn how to develop their own systems by performing their own analyses. Football-Data would like to acknowledge the following sources which are currently utilised in the compilation of Football-Data's results and odds files. Sportinglife (UK match statistics) ESPN Soccer (European league match statistics) Bundesliga Gazzetta.it Football.fr [Please note that Sportinglife and ESPN Soccer show slightly different match statistics (for example shots and shots on target), and as such, data for a UK team and a European team are not perfectly correlatable, for example to help with predicting European cup match involving both a UK and European team. More generally, all data provided by Football-Data are made available for the purposes of league match prediction only.] If you have any questions about either the data or how it can be used for your own betting system, just contact Football-Data Football-Data maintains full copyright over the data files in their current format. |
