    betfair historic data

    Hi!
    I downloaded historic data from http://data.betfair.com
    where I can find this description of the data layout.

    The data given is as follows...

    EVENT_ID
    COUNTRY (horseracing only)
    FULL_DESCRIPTION
    COURSE (horseracing only)
    SCHEDULED_OFF
    EVENT
    ACTUAL_OFF
    SELECTION
    SETTLED_DATE
    ODDS
    LATEST_TAKEN (when these odds were last matched on the selection)
    FIRST_TAKEN (when these odds were first matched on the selection)
    IN_PLAY (IP - In-Play, PE - Pre-Event, NI - Event did not go in-play)
    NUMBER_BETS (number of individual bets placed)
    VOLUME_MATCHED (sums the stakes of both back and lay bets)
    SPORTS_ID
    SELECTION_ID
    WIN_FLAG (1 if the selection was paid out as a full or partial winner, 0 otherwise)


    However, it differs quite a bit from the real data.
    Two rows with greyhound-data illustrates ...

    "4339","100556700","03-10-2012 07:55:04","AUS/APrk (AUS) 3rd Oct","03-10-2012 07:52","R8 520m Heat","","6720279","3. Matty Mel","12.5","2","15.56","03-10-2012 07:53:07","03-10-2012 07:53:07","0","NI"
    "4339","100556700","03-10-2012 07:55:04","AUS/APrk (AUS) 3rd Oct","03-10-2012 07:52","R8 520m Heat","","6720280","4. Bring Back Bob","10","4","22.96","03-10-2012 07:52:39","03-10-2012 07:52:39","0","NI"
    "

    Does anyone have a CORRECT description of that data.

    The first row of each file is the description of each field!

      Hmm, yes how did I miss that?
      Oh, yes, I glance through one, grep()ed out greyhounds (4339), and looked at that file,
      thus missing the headers.
      Thanks
