Need Odds for Over/Under 2,5 Market

[morigabor]

Hey!
This could be my mistake, but when I look at the data and the training, there's no odds for the Over/Under 2,5 market, I only see the 1X2 market's odds? Is it just me?

Hi @morigabor,

How you define the dataloader? Not all leagues/years/divisions contain odds data. Generally the most popular leagues and recent years do no have missing values. Try the following:

dataloader = SoccerDataLoader(param_grid={'league': ['England', 'Italy'], 'year': [2024, 2025]})
X, Y, O = dl.extract_train_data(odds_type='market_average')
print(O.columns, O.shape[0], O.isna().sum().sum())

There are only 10 missing values out of 6696 observations and the odds are provided for 1X2 + over/under 2.5.

I figured it out, sorry! Other question: how often and when does the soccer data update? Am I gonna be able to search for value bets in time (for example 5-6 hours before the game)?

2-3 times per week. You can find the value bets in time but keep in mind that the provided odds are not updated.
