I have been out of coding for nearly 20 years now. I retired from programming to be a professional sports handicapper in my mid 20s. I used to code C++ and Visual Basic. Now I am revisiting my former profession to aid in my current profession. I was curious if in your opinion if you think Python would be the best language for me to dive into for the project that I have. Here is basically an outline of what I am looking to do:
I want to query several websites at a time in real-time and update Live Spreads and compare those to each other to find the biggest differential. For example FanDuel has the 76ers -3, DraftKings has them -5, and BetAmerica has them -4. The program would then let me know that Fanduel and DraftKings have the biggest differential which is 2 points. I would want to do this for four spreads per game (total, spread, total first half and spread first half) for every NCAA game and NBA game constantly as the game progresses. Perhaps entering a minimum differential of 2 or 3. There might be 30 games going at the same time which would translate to 120 spread comparisons.
Any tips to get me started would be greatly appreciated.
