🏀 Arbitrage Detector

An older version of my arbitrage detector prior to a Spring Boot migration. If you want to find the newer and more up-to-date version, go here!

This version only searches for arbitrage opportunities from NBA games. As stated, if you want to use a more updated version that can aggregate data from a variety of leagues, go to my newer repo.
