[@michaelsandilands8064]

Just started to learn scraping, looking forward to learning from your code. Good man Andrew!

Hi Andrew. I have been building an app from your UFC betting model, so I must so thank you so much. Starting this project was daunting and I probably wouldn't have made a start without access to your data. However, I have been struggling with finding all the fight data I need. I can't seem to list all the opponents of every fighter either?....I wonder if this is definitely a issue my end.... Thanks kindly!!

whats the best model to use for baseball bets

[@alexkalausich6611]

Feel extremely dumb here. Quick question, I've setup everything, but when I start with most of your github contents and folder structure and run the script I receive "Error in unnest(., fight_data.csv) : object 'UFC_Data' not found" Feel like I'm missing something very fundamental...

[@AndrewCouch]

Did you create the UFC and UFC_Data objects? You will need to run the entire script for it to work. I also recommend not using the Tidy-Tuesday repo for the UFC project and instead use the script from here github.com/andrew-couch/UFC-Sports-Betting-Model
