buying sports data

[rsigley]

anyone know a place where you can buy NHL, NBA, or MLB data from the past 10 years? I know of that NFL/CB guy for $99 but was starting to take this more seriously and want to analyze all sports.

thanks

What exactly are you looking for? Scores, box scores, lines, etc.?

[rsigley]

as much as possible

lines, box scores, individual player data

If you have too much money on your hands you can try STATS Inc.

They don't compile line data.

You can get line data from covers, jim fiest, etc. That shouldn't be an issue at all, really. Scores and player data is much harder to get.

I got line data from covers for at least the last 10 years. Why is that so hilarious?

Box scores and such are much harder to parse through and get right from many different sources.

I have trouble getting some lines from covers.com from games 3-4 days old and I'm pretty sure some of their lines are off. Unless I missed an almost game time injury announcement.

True, they might not be the most accurate. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have all of Pinnacle's lines for almost two years, I'd guess. Not a 10 year DB, though.
