Build a valuebet tool

Valuebet API? Build it on our odds feed

Need a value bet API or valuebet feed for UK football? You want clean bookmaker odds so your code can find +EV: compare best odds (or a full grid) to your model or a sharp line, then flag edges in your own product.

Odds endpoints you use
/events
/odds/best
(optional) /odds

No /valuebet route - these odds calls are the input to your +EV logic.

What people mean by a valuebet API

Odds in. Your edge rules out.

Most “valuebet API” searches are not asking for tip sheets. They want UK odds as data so a product can decide what is value. UK Odds API supplies fixtures, best odds, and full bookmaker grids (including Betfair). You compute implied probability, compare to your line, and surface the edges.

Fixtures first

List today’s (or any date’s) events with has_odds=true, then loop the event_ids you care about.

Best odds signals

One row per outcome with the top UK odds and bookmaker code - fast enough for scanners and alerts.

Full grid + Betfair

Pull /odds when you need every bookmaker, or to benchmark retail bookmakers against the exchange.

Your EV math

Implied probability is p = 1 / odds. Value is when your model (or sharp line) says the true probability is higher.

Odds endpoints for a valuebet tool

The calls your value finder / +EV bot actually hits - not a /valuebet route.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&per_page=25

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best?odds_format=decimal

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds?package=core&odds_format=decimal

Replace EVENT_ID with an event_id from the events endpoint.

Example best-odds response

Feed this into implied probability and your own edge flags.

{
  "event_id": "evt_123",
  "market": "1x2",
  "best": [
    { "name": "Home", "odds": 2.10, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" },
    { "name": "Draw", "odds": 3.55, "bookmaker_code": "UO018" },
    { "name": "Away", "odds": 3.80, "bookmaker_code": "UO006" }
  ],
  "notes": "Compute implied probability: p = 1 / odds. Compare to your model probability to detect value."
}

FAQ

Valuebet API - FAQ

Do you have a valuebet API endpoint?

No dedicated `/valuebet` route. You build a valuebet / valuebets tool on our odds endpoints - fixtures, `/odds/best`, and `/odds` (including Betfair). Your code defines what counts as value.

What is a valuebet API?

People searching “valuebet API” usually want odds data so their app can flag +EV opportunities. UK Odds API is that odds layer: normalised UK bookmaker and Betfair odds. You (or your model) decide edge, EV, and staking.

What is a valuebets API?

Same idea as a valuebet API - odds in, your value logic out. We do not return tip sheets; we return odds you can compare to a model or sharp line.

Do you return ready-made value bet tips?

No. We return normalised UK bookmaker and Betfair odds. You compute edge, EV, and staking. See the Python value bet finder tutorial for a full example.

Which endpoints do I need for value betting?

Most systems use `/v1/football/events` for fixtures, `/odds/best` for best odds, and `/odds` for full grids including Betfair. Compare retail vs exchange in your app.

Can I use Betfair as the sharp line?

Yes. Betfair Exchange is included with stable bookmaker codes so you can benchmark retail bookmakers against the exchange in one API.

Can I try the API before I pay?

Yes. Create an account, pick a plan (including Free when enabled), and try endpoints in the Swagger playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs.
