string - Compare team names of different bookmakers -


i trying make small sport betting odds comparison script personal use. getting data of xml feeds (from different bookmakers). comparing them have know matches/events same. problem name of teams, leagues different @ different bookmakers.

here example:

bookmaker1: b1

league: uefa champions league

match: manchester united vs inter milan

bookmaker2: b2

league: champions l.

match: manu vs inter

bookmaker3: b3

league: champions league(uefa)

match: manchester u. vs fc internazionale

the date same. there lot of matches starting @ same time. there 1000's of matches , 100's of leagues.

is there possibility recognize same, manually?

with manually mean: if string manu or manchester u. => manchester united (and every teamname)

how odds comparison sites (like oddsportal.com or other services)?

i'm afraid there no magical solution. don't see pattern can base on.

the best way identify name used each bookmaker , comparison accordingly.

it unlikely bookmakers change team's name
