it's XML data you can write a program to parse it for your own wishes... which is what I've done.. :yeah:

How does this help one's "bottom line" ?

If you're into tracking line moves then there you go.

If you're into writing mathematical formulas for predicting games then you can use the odds to see the performance over past games, and you can use it to identify possible plays.

I like it because I mostly use Pinnacle. :gulp:

It surprises me a bit that pinnacle has made this a public thing. I guess its Henry's way to him another outlet to skull F**K you as he moves his numbers ever few seconds. Rjp is right on the money if you are one into teracking line movs and how they can eat at your bankroll not getting the best of it I suggest you try this out. one last note if you do follow line movements and bet accordingly please make sure you have a good idea why that line is going in the direction that it is you lnmost need a DB screen to compare there wise guy lines with tehre internet lines and then match them up with the market price at the time... this XML feed should be a asset for most.

How do you make it work???

all I see is coding...........like is someone wrote a web page and the tags are not working or something.

That's a portion of the code. You really can't do much with it unless you write a computer program to parse it.

RJP I'm not seeing the tags around the data. There should
be something like <team>Padres</team>. We just wrote a parser here for another application.

RJP I just looked at my response and noticed that there were not tags around Padres!!! Now your data makes sense!
