I'm looking to find an information service that will provide me live data that I can display into excel.

I'm basically trying to make decisions based on live odds for any particular race up to post time.

I subcribe to TVGfree but it does not allow me to import the data into excel (from what I can tell)

Any insight tot his would be helpful.

    I don't know much about spreadsheets, but there's a live toteboard on DRF.com that you might try. Perhaps it's different from the one on TVG, who knows.

    Hey thanks.

    I will check it out.

    Is it possible to find "Value" in exotics and Place and Show betting?

    What I mean is, after the tracks cut and based on how people bet, can you find plays that mathimatically work in your favor?

    Maybe this should be a separate post...

    It's very rare that i'll bet to place, and i never bet to show. I also generally stay away from exotics. They do have some merit in certain situations, but i don't like having to count on multiple horses. Counting on one is hard enough.
