Value bet API

Looking for a 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.

Typical workflow
/events
/odds/best
(optional) /odds

Use best odds for signals, and full odds when you want depth across bookmakers.

How it’s used

Compute implied probability and compare.

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.

Signals

Use best odds to surface candidates quickly without scanning every bookmaker row.

Execution

Use full odds to verify the wider UK market and apply your own bookmaker rules.

Endpoints

Copy‑paste these requests.

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 returned by the events endpoint.

Sample JSON

A compact example response you can build signals from.

{
  "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

Still got questions?

Do you provide “value bet” picks?

We provide the odds data. Value detection is usually computed by your model (or pricing rules) on top of best odds and bookmaker grids.

What endpoints do I need for value betting?

Most systems use `/events` for fixture selection, `/odds/best` for best odds, and `/odds` for full bookmaker grids when you want depth.

Which bookmakers are included?

All major UK bookmakers, including Bet365, Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, William Hill, Coral, Ladbrokes, Betway, 888sport, Unibet, and Spreadex.

Can I try the API before I pay?

Yes. Create a free account and generate an API key, then explore endpoints in the Swagger playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs.
