Signals
Use best odds to surface candidates quickly without scanning every bookmaker row.
Value bet API
Here’s how to pull UK bookmaker odds and best odds so you can compute implied probabilities and detect value — endpoints, a compact example response, and a practical workflow.
/events/odds/best(optional) /odds Use best odds for signals, and full odds when you want depth across bookmakers.
How it’s used
A simple value workflow: get best odds, compute implied probability \(p = 1/odds\), then compare against your model probability. When your model probability is higher than the implied probability (after margin), you’ve found a candidate.
Use best odds to surface candidates quickly without scanning every bookmaker row.
Use full odds to verify the wider UK market and apply your own bookmaker rules.

FAQ
We provide the odds data. Value detection is usually computed by your model (or pricing rules) on top of best odds and bookmaker grids.
Most systems use `/events` for fixture selection, `/odds/best` for best odds, and `/odds` for full bookmaker grids when you want depth.
