![]() Equibase offers FREE PDF RESULTS charts. Key term here is 'FREE'!!!
I play multiple tracks and have written a download program to get these charts. HOWEVER, Equibase limits the number of charts I can download at a given time (sometimes this runs over a 24 hour period) to FIVE. WHY? What in the world could I possibly be doing with these charts? they're ENCRYPTED? If they're FREE, why can't I download the 8 or 10 I need each day and not get my balls broken? If they don't want large downloads of their FREE data THEN DON'T OFFER IT FOR FREE. I mean, I understand that EQUIBASE wants me (and others) to BUY DATA. I'm in for that; right after their data becomes a little bit less FLAWED. What else is there to say but BLOW ME EQUIBASE. Last edited by the_fat_man : 10-09-2008 at 08:06 PM. |

![]() You could just modify your program to download five, then sign in with another account, and download the rest.

Isn't this essentially the dynamic that led to that massive legal action you showed me a couple years back. I am sure you have the link to the story somewhere in your racing library.... |

Anytime you use something that the racing information giants (DRF,Equibase) provide for free to the public that either 1) turns a potential profit said mega corp is getting none of 2) Is being sold for potential profit that is dependent on the accuracy of their product (e.g. charts) The big boys don't want you making a business out of their business without you paying a vig so to speak. It's always about the Benjammins!!!!! |
