Bet Types and Sides
A betTypeID corresponds to the style/grading system of a bet. A sideID corresponds outcome of that bet which is being selected.
Number of Sides
For a 2-way betTypeID, there are 2 possible sideID values for each betTypeID
- Example:
ou(Over/Under) has 2 possible sideID values:overandunder
For a 3-way betTypeID, there are 6 possible sideID values for each betTypeID
- 1 sideID for each of the 3 core outcomes plus 1 sideID for the inverse outcome of each
- In a 3-way bet, one person (typically the bettor) gets 1 of the 3 outcomes and the other (typically the sportsbook) gets the other 2 outcomes.
- Ex:
ml3way(3-Way Moneyline) has an outcome forhome(home team wins) plus the inverse ofaway+draw(away team wins or draw).
We also support special-case Events where Event.type = prop. These are one-off/custom prop bets which are not part of the standard betting schema. The definitions of these bets (and their sides) are defined on the Event object itself. The betTypeID is always prop and the sideID is always side1 or side2. If you’re just getting started with your integration, we recommend you ignore these for now as the vast majority of data uses the other betTypeID and sideID values.
