How to scrape sports odds

flowchart TD
    A[Sport keys in] --> B[Odds API per sport]
    B --> C[Best price per side<br/>arb detection]
    C --> D[Push to dataset<br/>dedupe by event + market]

1. Pass sport keys (americanfootball_nfl, basketball_nba, soccer_epl).
2. Actor calls api.the-odds-api.com/v4/sports/{sport}/odds with your regions and markets.
3. Best price per outcome is computed. Arb = sum of implied probabilities below 1.
4. Matches push to the dataset with every book's line and the best price winner.

Schedule every 60 seconds for live line movement (set dedupe: false). One request per sport per run.

FAQ

Do I need a sports odds API key? Yes. Get a free one at the-odds-api.com. The free tier gives 500 requests per month. This actor uses 1 request per sport per run.

How does arbitrage detection work? For each event the actor picks the best price on every outcome, converts to decimal, computes 1 / decimal as implied probability, and sums. If the sum is below 1, a risk free bet exists. Returns the profit %.

How often can I poll for line movement? As often as your Odds API quota allows. Every 60 seconds per sport is common for live. Set dedupe: false so every snapshot lands with a timestamp.

Which bookmakers are covered? US: DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Pinnacle, PointsBet, BetRivers, WilliamHill US, SuperBook. UK: Bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Betfair, Betway. EU and AU also covered.

Does it dedupe across runs? Yes. Event + market keys are stored under SEEN_IDS. Turn off for line movement tracking where you want every snapshot.

Is scraping sports odds allowed? Yes when you use The Odds API, which aggregates bookmaker data under license. This actor never scrapes a sportsbook directly.
