Question for you, SharpChiCity - how did you find out about the SBR API? (I know this isn't an issue per se, and I'm happy to close/delete it soon, but I was really curious.)

Hi,

I'm getting an interesting issue where SBR will always redirect to a page that does not have the betting odds or OddsGridModule_3. Instead, it's hitting this page: http://imgur.com/6HFm1eV.

Any idea how or why it's redirecting me? This happens sometimes too when I just throw the url in FF. It will also change the url from
http://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/mlb-baseball/?date=20160406

to:

http://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/mlb-baseball/?date=20160406&

Thanks for the help!

Mike

I suddenly got an error message in the soup_url function which was not occurring a week ago last time I used it; when scraping the url 'https://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/nba-basketball/money-line/?date=20210129' I get the following soup, which states the the request has been blocked:

It seems like the site may have changed their security settings but I'm not sure if there's any way to fix this?

When you hover mouse over "OPENER", the Bet % pops up. Any way to include this, specifically for spread lines? See: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/pointspread/ and hover over "OPENER" and you'll see percentage number just to the left of the OPENER column.

In the TODO list in the read me, you list the new URL from SBR. Do you know how you could change this to other sports? Right now it looks like it's only MLB events.

Minor error that has a major effect on the output.

On line 407

f.write('Game_ID,Date,Time_FG_ML,HA,Team,Team_SP,Team_SP_hand,Opp,Opp_SP,Opp_SP_hand)
you are missing a comma "," at the end of Opp_SP_hand which is causing this header to merge with the next header on line 408 and therefore all the columns after this one are off by one and shifted to the left.
