I have a concept now. Currently the bot; searches through a database (which must be built), finds the current fighters, displays the odds according to who's fighting on which ever side, tells the user who won historically, and displays the date the entry was made.
The battles are stored like this "Ultimate aizen*Nash Shadow+1:7.6+R+5/11/2015"
The left side fighter on the left side of the asterisk, right on the right. The probability is the next item between the first two addition signs (that's my delimiter of choice), then the historical outcome, and the entry date. The bot is capable of switching the sides the fighters are on and correctly displaying probability and outcome with no problem.
The difficult part is automating the process of gathering information from saltybets. It seems like the website requires certain headers to access it. I have been actively trying to work-around this, by scraping HTML from the website, then finding where the current fight information is stored, getting the current fighters, then finding the winner and storing it using my compact string storage.
If anyone has any ideas, tips, or would like to contribute, please let me know.
