Naming notes

  • Names are the same on every bookmaker and match the markets parameter without regard to case. There is no Match Winner (use ML) and no bare Over/Under or Asian Handicap.
  • ML, Spread, Totals and the team totals include overtime. Lines settled at the end of regulation time end in Regulation, and the regulation result with a draw is 3-Way Result.
  • Player Props is one market for every stat. Each row has a label in the form Player (Stat), a line in hdp, and over and under prices.

Basketball markets FAQ

How many Basketball markets does the API have?

59 right now: 59 priced pre-match and 52 in-play. The list follows what bookmakers price, and GET /v3/markets?sport=basketball returns the current set without an API key.

How do I get only some Basketball markets?

Add markets with comma-separated names to /v3/odds, /v3/odds/multi or the WebSocket, for example markets=ML,Spread,Totals. Matching ignores case but needs the full name.

What does ML mean?

ML is the moneyline: who wins the match. Use ML for the match result, as there is no market called Match Winner.

Do ML, Spread and Totals include overtime?

Yes. In Basketball, ML, Spread, Totals and the team totals include overtime. Markets settled at the end of regulation time carry Regulation in the name, and the regulation result with a draw is 3-Way Result.
