# Stat Data Type - statID URL: https://sportsgameodds.com/docs/data-types/stats Stat Data Type - statID [#stat-data-type---statid] A **statID** corresponds to a specific statistic or value. Each sport has its own set of supported statIDs. You can use it to find event/game statistics: * When looking at the `results` object of an Event, the statID allows you to find a specific stat value at `results...`. It's also used to define odds markets: * When looking at the `odds` object of an Event, each item contains a statID corresponding to the stat which will determine the outcome of the bet. This is found at `odds..statID`. The points statID [#the-points-statid] The statID `points` is special. It's used in every sport to define the stat which determines the winner of an event. We've found that maintaining a single statID for the main (most important) stat across all sports helps keep things simple and consistent. However, this also means the `points` statID is used even in sports where the word "points" isn't necessarily used to describe that stat. Here are some examples: * In Baseball, `points` is the statID for "runs scored" * In Hockey, `points` is the statID for "goals scored" and `goals+assists` is the statID for traditional "hockey points" * In Golf, `points` is the number of strokes (to par) * In Tennis, `points` is the statID for "sets won" (since most sets won wins the match) and `truePoints` is used for the actual number of tennis points won * In MMA or Boxing, `points` is used to determine the winner of a fight. The winner will have a value of 1 and the loser will have a value of 0.
