Project Overview

This project aims to extract football match odds and analyze arbitrage opportunities. The tools used include Selenium for web scraping, Python for data analysis, and text files for storing results.

File Structure

  • oddslooker.py:

    • Main script to extract match links from OddsPortal.
    • Uses Selenium to navigate league pages and retrieve relevant match URLs.
    • Results are saved in list_of_matches.txt.

  • souptest.py:

    • Analyzes the matches listed in list_of_matches.txt.
    • Extracts odds, checks if matches are in the past, and identifies arbitrage opportunities.
    • Opportunities are recorded in arbitrage_opportunities.txt with details of bookmakers and potential profit margins.

  • list_of_matches.txt:

    • Contains URLs of matches extracted by oddslooker.py.
    • Each line represents a different match.

  • arbitrage_opportunities.txt:

    • Contains arbitrage opportunities identified by souptest.py.
    • Information includes optimal odds, corresponding bookmakers, and potential profit margins.
