Welcome to GimmeTheDog.com -- the next generation in the use of the Sports Data Query Language (SDQL)
A few thoughts on where things stand.
- The site is no where near complete. We’re still Beta testing and we have lots more to add. We believe it’s “usable enough”, so we decided to share it. We hope you like it
- Right now, only the NFL and NCAAFB are working. The NFL is very stable. There may be a few shortcuts that need a little work, but other than that, the NFL works great. NCAAFB is less stable. It works pretty well, but there are underlying data issues that we’re busily cleaning up. It’s getting a little better each day. If you have trouble, try adding “and season>2018” to the end of your query so you’re accessing the cleanest data
- The NBA is very close to being operational. The NHL is targeted for some time in November/December. MLB should be ready in time. Other sport will follow
- Documentation is needed and is coming. We’re still busy getting things working, so please be patient. Realistically, the site is current most useful to experienced SDQLers. We’re like a double-diamond slope when skiing – if you can handle it, you absolutely love it!
- Those new to SDQL will find the site difficult to use in its current state. We’re very aware of this and are working on many cool new features for new users that will be available in time once we have everything working the way we want
- In the meantime, if you want to learn about SDQL, a great way is to search, “SDQL University” on youtube.com.
- We have many cool new features already that we’ll talk about on twitter. Follow us at @gimmethedog. Of course, we’ll document them here as well as soon as we are able
- Wait, just wait until what you see we have coming! We’re excited and we’re sure sport bettors will the weaponry we’ll add to their sport betting arsenal
We have more to say, and we’ll be updating often. For now, we hope you understand we’re still under construction, but are usable enough to add great value to your handicapping. We hope you like it – enjoy!
