Display of the line (bwin.com) odds is the major new feature of this release.

To make the line odds available for viewing and feeding, press a key F2. To make them instantly available, turn on the option Options -> Internet -> Automatically fetch line odds.

Fair and line odds meeting criterion Line > Fair are highlighted by green tints.

Line odds can be exported along with all others.

Another new important feature - background analysis of ratings trends, and its application to odds cells. Odds with an unfavorable trends will be colored in a violet. An attempt to feed these odds to Stake Wizard will be accompanied by the warning message. Trend hints can be turned on/off using the shortcut key F10, or by setting Stake Wizard option Apply trend hints.

All suggestions that are missing in this version will be certainly implemented in the further releases.

One might remember one of the tips about using OW:

Quote:

Select only those matches where your team of choice does not go down, and the opposite team does not go up. Look at the menu Charts -> Team vs team.

Now Odds Wizard does this work for you analysing trends without having to refer to charts every time.

How does it work?

1. OW calculates ratings (and intotals) for the date = today - 200 days, and compares them with the current values for each team as follows:

Change index (Ci) = (new rating - old rating) / (current ratings range) * 100%,

where (current ratings range) = max rating - min rating.

2. Change indices of the home and away team are subtracted:

H = Ci(home) - Ci(away) + 5
A = Ci(away) - Ci(home) + 5,

where 5 is a tolerance item.

If we found H < 0 (A < 0), then betting on home (away) team is not recommended,
and corresponded cells are colored in violet.

Similarly, hints for unders/overs are calculated.

Note that the above calculations are needed to produce a hint, and have no any effect on the odds values.

Of course, user may want to double check the charts trends to ensure that hints are correct.

Alex,
Thanks for the explanation.

Would it be possible to have the unfavourable trends function available in the export?

My thinking is that you would have another field in the export with the "unfavourable trend" team (ie H or A) listed, as well as the cell coloured violet within Odds Wizard.
Obviously there would may a number of matches which would have that column blank as no negative trends exist. But I presume this wouldn't be a problem

Is that possible?

Thanks
OL

hi alex,could a border be set round the cells odds wizard is trying to show us?

for me

dark green = very easy to see

light green = very easy to miss as background is off white

example 29/03 GermanyN FortunaD Vs FC Magdeburg is a 2 (away overlay)

i have still to see a violet cell yet? or is it me....

Are you planning to add a performance table that's derived from the line odds? This could be excellent way of finding out if selecting just the odds with green cells and betting on them would yield a profit. Betting blind is not to be recommended but if the fair odds OW generates are correct it should be profitable.

Also, are you planning to add more bookmakers? If so, may I suggest Betfair. They have an excellent API which, they claim, makes it easy for developers to add real-time prices to their applications. It can be found here.

Also, I too am yet to see a violet cell. I have trend hints turned on and I have looked through every league but I haven't seen any violet.

Cheers, Theuth

The odds at Betfair do not always reflect the odds bookmakers offer and the volume is low, so why Betfair?

I've got accounts at quite a few British bookies (Laddies, Hills, Blue Sq) and even taking the commission into account, Betfair are always competitive on the major european leagues.

However, I only bet on the leagues in Britain, France, Germany Italy and Spain so I can't comment on the odds or liquidity of the other leagues.
