Abstract

Svrha ovoga rada je ispitivanje postojanja arbitraža među koeficijentima za teniske mečeve. Kao izvor podataka koristile su se kladionica SuperSport i web stranica OddsPortal koja objedinjuje najveće koeficijente s nekoliko desetaka online kladionica. Sustav prikuplja podatke tehnikom web scrapinga koristeći Python skriptu i program napravljen u softwareu UiPath. Za povezivanje istih teniskih mečeva iz oba izvora koristi se druga Python skripta koja također provjerava postojanje arbitraže za taj par. Svi se povezani mečevi zapisuju u .csv datoteku, zajedno s oznakom arbitraže ukoliko ona postoji za taj meč. Sustav je uspješan u pronalaženju arbitraža.

Abstract (english)

The purpose of this study is to test whether arbitrage exists between coefficients for tennis matches. The data sources include the SuperSport bookmaker and the OddsPortal website, which aggregates the highest odds from several online bookmakers. The system collects data using web scraping techniques; a Python script and a program created in UiPath software. To match the same tennis matches from both sources, a second Python script is used, which also checks for the presence of an arbitrage for that pair. All matched matches are recorded in a .csv file, along with an arbitrage label if it exists for that match. The system is successful in finding arbitrage opportunities.
