Hi Guys and Gals. I am new to this site. This is my first post.

I was introduced to PA by Steven Crist at a book signing at Saratoga. I always thought that I was “reinventing the wheel” but I never knew that other people like me existed. I am in awe of your intelligence and giving spirit. Thank you all!



My question is: where can I get live odds? I have been a tote board reader, as a hobby, for over forty years. Last year I decided to computerize my scratchings. I hired a programmer, non horseplayer, to scrape the odds off NYRA. I was not trying to cheat someone of royalties, but that is the only place I know to get live odds. To date, I have spent a lot on programming, but keep getting stymied on a consistent live odds feed. I would greatly appreciate any input. Again, thank you all (PA) for a great site.

Huh? Your first post was in February. This is your 11th post. What's up with that?

I thought "first post" meant "original" first post. Sorry about that.

Now I'm really confused. Been happening a lot lately.

if you don't want to give personal info to TSN; DRF's live board works well too...

www.drf.com; go to tools > live odds

haven't had a problem yet when keeping track of tracks!

For what your trying to do, the Pha Park-racing channel feeds might work best. I use them for ATR, without a problem.

I was more impressed that Steve Crist had talked up PA to this guy.

PA, you really are on the radar these days! I'd really love to know just WHO reads this board -- and do they take notice of our comments.

Sure. When it reinforces their opinions and aligns with their agenda.
