Subject
Betting Outcome
- Per sportsbook, the object which contains information on the odds and values for the selections available on a Betting Market
- A number of core fields:
- Betting Outcome Type
- Used to determine which side a Betting Outcome represents e.g. Over, Under, Home, Away, Yes, No
- For example on a Betting Bet Type of Total Points, you will see options for “Over” and “Under” which correspond to the over and under outcomes
- Value - Contains the value needed for the bet (if applicable)
- For example, “Philadelphia Eagles Total Points” might contain outcomes where the value is 24. The “Over” means the bet would win if the Eagles score more than 24 points and the “Under” means the best would win if the Eagles score less than 23 points.
- Typical bets which will have non-null Value include Point Spread and Totals
- Betting Outcomes for something like a Betting Bet Type of Moneyline will have a null value, as the bet isn’t based on any particular value (in the case of a Moneyline, it’s which team will win)
