Hello, everyone.

So what does this mean? Does this mean whatever queries we have at https://sportsdatabase.com will be obsolete?

For non-technical users, the new https://s3.sportsdatabase.com/ looks complex and scary.

Is there an SDQL3 manual similar to the previous version SDQL manual for each sport?

Thank you.

Looks like we may have to re write several queries

Is it just SDB that's being discontinued?  Will KS still be up?

Would love an explanation. I get it that we are a niche group, but would think with all legalization, putting up some banners for US sportsbooks might help the site become more financially feasible. So KillerSports is effed?

yeah the new SDQL3 looks terrifying for those who are not exactly tech savvy like myself.

It appears that the creators of SDQL at sportsdatabase are as quoted from an email I received...

I am getting out of the data management part of the business.
Starting Sep 1 SDQL3 access will be from:

We're on our own as killersports has streamlined to these sports only... NFL, NBA, & MLB.

Be cautious as data is missing and possibly wrongly input at times.

As for me I've begun the process in Excel and ultimately Access to build my own DB.

Wish me luck

Thanks for sharing the info, Meestermike.

That's good news that killersports will continue, even with just only NFL, NBA, and MLB. I just ran an MLB query on both sportsdatabase.com and killersports. The two sites produced identical numbers, so that's encouraging.

Like you, I've started planning how to manually track NCAAF in Excel. Good luck with building your own DB in Excel and Access.

That's awesome that you've started building your own DB Mike. I know you've always been proficient with Excel spreadsheets, for at least the past 15-20 years anyway. 

The links that you guys have shared above to SDQL 3 don't open anything for me. I'm intrigued about these moves and have little doubt that Joe, Ed and the rest of the crew will put together an amazing product. If there's a learning curve involved, so bet it.

I've asked Stathead if they would consider adding betting info. It seems they have everything else in place and with all states legalizing the stuff, not sure why they wouldn't. I never heard back. Maybe if we all emailed the same question... https://stathead.com/

Betting info would be very difficult to incorporate.....and would just add nose to queries.  Bet data changes all the way to game time

Hey Meestermike, thanks for this information. Is it confirmed that Killersports will be continuing after Sept 1 with these 3 sports or willl they stop once Sportsdatabase stops in Sept? Thanks

How is everyone viewing the new site.  It doesn't seem to be loading any which way I try.

Fingers crossed. My 6-for-6 Dean's List son, who is programming duel major, knows API and will HOPEFULLY be able to help me convert. However, wish the S3 site were up so he could play around in there.

The discontinuation banner is also up at https://killersports.com
Only MLB until this season ends.

if you already doing queries, will that be adequate for new site? it looks like it, but i'm not tech-saavy.

why don't you sell subscriptions?

can you leave up the historical data?

thx so much for all your great work over the years :)

I have 100+ queries stored on KillerSports that I can't find now. How is everyone getting their queries and data out of KillerSports?
