Re: 6 Pick Bet Grouping

It seems straightforward: 1 / X / X ... and 4 / X / X ... becomes 1 + 4 / X / X If there were a 6 / X / X it would become 1 + 4 + 6 / X / X I think this means that all possible combinations for any particular amount may be grouped together in a single ticket. Cheers, -T -- http://mail.python

Python program that validates an url against w3c markup validator

I'd like to create a program that validates bunch of urls against the w3c markup validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and store the result in a file. Since I don't know network programming, I have no idea how to start coding this program. I was looking at the python library and thought urllib or

Re: 6 Pick Bet Grouping

Your explanation is correct. It's important to realise that effectively the input many thousands of single bets come out of a black box and it is then necessary for me to merge them into the grouped format to make things more manageable. Given an arbitrary bucket of single bets, it is by no means o
