    I have a question about sending picks by email.

    Does each part have to be on a separate line or will it still work if it is all in one line?

    I have a telegram message scraper but it takes this:

    SPORT: Football

    EVENT: All Boys v San Telmo

    BET: DRAW

    ODDS: 2.60

    STAKE: 10

    BOOK: Pinnacle

    SOURCE: TomW

    and turns it into this:

    SPORT: Football EVENT: All Boys v San Telmo BET: DRAW ODDS: 2.60 STAKE: 10 BOOK: Pinnacle SOURCE: TomW

    When that email gets sent to smartbet it does not get accepted.

     

    I just want to confirm here that the issue is that each part is not on a separate line?

    Yes, every field needs to be on a separate line. Check also that you are not applying any html formatting, as it can affect the parsing logic.

    It is okay, I have now solved this by adding 
    to the end of each line of text, then the scraper reads it properly. 

    No further assistance needed on this one.

    I am totall failing to be able to write this

    I added  " < b r > " (remove spaces for actual use) to the end of each line of text, then the scraper reads it properly.
