I need a programmer to make me a screen scraper to extract data from http://www.tradesports.com . The program must go through every bet on the web site (note that the bets and categories change frequently); it must open the pop-up that comes from clicking on the bet and record the data there. It must then check back later to see the results of the bets made. Preferably it'd dump all this to excel or something similar.

I don't know how hard this is, so I don't know how much I'm paying and what my deadline will be. There are a lot of programmers on 2p2, so I'll try just taking bids. PM me or post here with how long you think this will take you to make (please please please try to be honest) and how much you'll charge.

I'd also like info like how much RAM/hard drive space per day/processor power this would take.

Min $2K IMO, the work required would be very tedious. Thats just what I'd charge at least anyway.

In fact, IIRC , you may not need to scrap the screen since most info is on readable text.

I tried to make an arb finder 2 years ago and used services from places like www.hireacoder.net or www.rentacoder.com and hired a guy from India for $750. His work was OK. Unfortunately I lost contact.

My project was a fiasco b/c I'm lazy.

You can also try the AutoIt and AutoHotKey official forums.

Thanks.. I've already found a guy who's found a nice, easy, quick way to do it.
