Sportsbook Odds Comparison: Pinnacle, FanDuel and DraftKings

What does US Sportsbook Odds Comparison: Best Price per Match do?

US Sportsbook Odds Comparison runs this account's own Pinnacle, FanDuel and DraftKings Actors live, matches the same game across all three even when team names differ slightly, then for each market and line returns every bookmaker's price, the best price for each outcome and which bookmaker offers it, the average price, each bookmaker's margin, the combined margin of the best prices and a flag when those best prices guarantee a profit. It covers moneyline and total markets, defaulting to NBA.

Why use US Sportsbook Odds Comparison: Best Price per Match?

• Zero setup: click Start, get a live three-book comparison back.
• Line shopping across Pinnacle, FanDuel and DraftKings in one table.
• Fuzzy team matching across three different data shapes.
• Margin per bookmaker shows who charges the most.
• Arbitrage flag when the best prices genuinely beat the market.

What makes this different

Odds comparison sites are closed and show only what they choose. This Actor runs the actual bookmaker scrapers live on every call, every time, and hands you the raw per-book comparison as structured data you can filter, store or alert on - not a locked dashboard.

How it works

1. Your input — press Start with no input - it fetches fresh Pinnacle, FanDuel and DraftKings odds automatically.
2. The Actor collects it — it matches the same game across all three books and compares each market.
3. Your output — you get one comparison row per match and market, with every book's price.

What data can you extract?

The dataset has 10 fields per row:

Tips for Best Results

• Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

Known Limitations

• Comparison is only as fresh as the moment the live fetch runs; prices move within minutes.
• Only moneyline and total markets are compared.
• Pinnacle and FanDuel filter by sport, not league; sports outside the built-in NBA preset may need a higher 'Max matches per bookmaker' to find overlap, which adds a modest extra cost.
• Team matching is fuzzy; unusual name differences can leave a match unpaired.
• Each live-fetch run also triggers three separate, separately-billed sub-Actor runs on your own account.
