Dicko's Scraper

I'm thinking a reverse of the layout might be the easy solution Dicko, instead of horse names and data running horizontally, we run them vertically. That way you can fit 28+ horses on the screen easily. What do you think?
 
I'll set aside some time over the bank holiday weekend to look over the code and see if i can set it up. I need to break the rust that's formed around my brain over the last 6 weeks so I can get back into my own stuff so this will be a good refresher I hope! :)
 
Here we go with the new layout. Thanks to Damon who has worked his magic yet again.
what a great bunch of people we have on here. :dreads:
The concept is as before but to tidy the screen up I have removed a few columns. if anybody wants them back just let me know as they are only hidden.
what I intend to do from today is concentrate on a few choice races and hopefully were going to beat the bookie with some value odds. the first screenshot is as was and the second one shows the odds at the time of the scraping. What were looking for is the odds from the scraper showing a better or worse tissue price than the real time odds. Now its up to you if you want to dive in as soon as you see them or wait until just before the off and reconcile the 2 scenarios then.
As always please feel free to make any comments good, bad or indifferent. :handgestures-thumbup:
 
I think it is now much easier to read with the horses being listed vertically rather than horizontally :handgestures-thumbup:
 
Essentially yes Tony. Though you would still want to beat the odds hence the forecast tissue and the scraper odds. Sometimes there are yellows in blocks and sometimes not. I've said before its not a one stop fix. Look at it as another way of reading a Racecard.
 
We got off to a good start with the winner highlighted at a tasty 7.2.
