Hi Dan, and all the other OW users,
First of all, thank you for your appreciation. We'll try to make this program even better.
1) In fact this task is partially accomplished in Tools > Odds converter > 1-X-2. Fixed market odds 1-X-2 are sufficient to generate all others using Newton optimization. If 1-X-2 are not available, then we must use AH odds + O/U to generate the rest. I see our task to extend all these converter's capabilities to the whole array of displayed odds.
2) It is not possible in the current version. Introducing this feature requires new extended data format for the league data.
3) Algorithms later than 2002 use special transforms that enchance performance. That's why we don't see 2002's values for the ratings.
4) Yes, it takes into account that 55% of goals are scored in the 2nd time. Market pre-game numbers will be introduced easily for in-play odds when we do it for the static odds as mentioned in (1).
5) Yes, it will be possible in one of the next versions.
6) Merged archive odds from different dates can be sorted out by the leagues using the field "Id".
7) Yes, it is possible using Options > Manual input of ratings/intotals. Then edit values in the teams table.
