scraping help for sports betting odds site

[nuc63 27]

I have created a bot to visit urls and then scrape data and save all picks(but I am having trouble scraping.)

 

I want to scrape team name and odds which can be + or -

 

 

Website Covers.com

 

example url you need a account to view it I will post a screenshot/code

 

 

url http://contests.covers.com/sportscontests/pending.aspx?userid=330922&sportID=5

 

code

 

<tr>

<td>

<a href="http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/mlb/teams/team2982.html">

Chi. Cubs

</a>

</td>

<td> - </td>

<td> </td>

<td>   </td>

<td> </td>

</tr>

 

<tr class="firstline">

<td>

<a href="http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/mlb/teams/team2968.html">

Arizona

</a>

</td>

<td> - </td>

It does scrape but you may have to do some text manipulation to finish getting what you want. The benefits of the Pro & Dev versions is that there are some additional Table nodes that can scrape to the level that you need.

I can not get your code to work here is the .ubot version of your code can you please look at it. I tried this code on a single page and no results in picks.txt.

In the "choose by attribute" search string has a extra space after </TR>. When I removed that space my test worked with your covers2.ubot code.
