v-zero Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I was wondering whether anybody here has access to a source of historical nfl price data from betfair, or any of the larger bookies? I'm in dire need of some prices to back test some work I have been doing on picking winners in the NFL. The results look very promising. After week four of the season is over I have been able to predict the outcome of 80% of the games with an accuracy of 80%, I have tested this on results for the past five years of the NFL, and now I need to get some price data to see whether there is profitability in it. Anyway, if anybody can help that'd be great, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Re: Historical NFL Price Data Few services about that should have that but at a price, something like 100 euro if i recall correctly. Can look it up if you want, found it once should find it again. Unless you are one of those who wants it all for free.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP66 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Re: Historical NFL Price Data You can download weekly historic data from Betfair at http://data.betfair.com/ The files are for all sports apart from horse racing and are pretty large but if you get them in Excel/Access you can filter out by sport. I haven't had time for a while to pull the data together but have tended to group by sport in the past so the files are a bit more manageable. It can take a while to pull the data together but once done you've got a great resource. Let me know if you want any help. KP66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Re: Historical NFL Price Data v-zero. I downloaded a load of historical NFL lines (back to the 1970's I think). If you still want this I can have a look and see if I can find where I got it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love capping the NFL and NBA as it allows me to crank out the monte-carlo methods and build a full game model, since the games a possesions based. :cow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Foreign Guy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Re: Historical NFL Price Data I have the last four or five years of closing line (pointspread only I think) sitting around my hard drive somewhere. LMK if this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetimdim Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Re: Historical NFL Price Data its hard to get head to head prices for past NFL games. Americans are obsessed with the point spread. Those are available in a number of places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Foreign Guy Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Re: Historical NFL Price Data You can get a decent estimation of money line (head to head) from the pointspread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
