Sports Odds Scraper — Pinnacle, DraftKings, Bovada & Smarkets

Get betting odds from four books in one clean dataset: Pinnacle (the sharp market), DraftKings, Bovada and the Smarkets betting exchange. Moneyline, point spread and totals for the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, college football and basketball, WNBA, CFL, EuroLeague, UFC and 14 soccer leagues — every price already converted to decimal and American odds, with no-vig fair probabilities, the edge of every price against Pinnacle's fair line, best-price flags and an arbitrage check.

No account, no API key, no login. Runs in seconds.

What you get

One row per game × market × line × outcome × book:

• the game: league, teams, start time, one stable eventKey across books and runs
• the price: decimal and American odds, implied probability, the book's own no-vig probability and margin
• Pinnacle's no-vig fair probability for the same line (main or alternate line) and the edge of this price against it — positive edge = a +EV bet
• the best price for that outcome across the books you picked, and which book has it
• Smarkets exchange extras: lay price, money available to back and lay, traded volume
• Pinnacle extras: its maximum stake on the market (a good proxy for how sharp the line is)
• DraftKings extras: the opening line and price

Optional best-line rows add, per game, market and line, the best price for every outcome across the books, the combined implied probability and — when it is below 100% — the arbitrage profit and how to split the stake.

Use cases

• +EV betting tools: compare every soft-book price to Pinnacle's no-vig line and keep only positive edges (minEdgePct).
• Arbitrage scanners: let the actor do the cross-book matching and only return arbitrage opportunities (onlyArbitrage).
• Line monitoring: schedule it every few minutes with onlyChanged — you only pay for prices that moved, each with its previous price.
• Tipster and media sites: odds tables, implied probabilities and best prices for your previews.
• Models and research: collect closing lines across books, exchange liquidity and Pinnacle limits for backtesting.

  "leagues": ["nfl", "nba", "epl"],
  "books": ["pinnacle", "draftkings", "bovada", "smarkets"],
  "markets": ["moneyline", "spread", "total"],
  "hoursAhead": 48,
  "includeBestLines": true,
  "maxItems": 2000

Field	What it does
leagues	Leagues to read (see the list in the input form). Off-season leagues just return no games.
books	Books whose prices are saved. Pinnacle is always read as the fair-price reference; its rows are saved only if selected.
markets	moneyline, spread, total.
hoursAhead	Only games starting within this many hours (default 168 = one week; 0 = everything listed).
minEdgePct	Keep only prices at least this % above Pinnacle's fair price (0 = every +EV price).
includeBestLines	Add the best-line / arbitrage rows.
onlyArbitrage	Save only best-line rows that are an arbitrage.
onlyChanged	Save only prices that are new or moved since the last run with the same settings.
allLines	Also save alternate spread and total lines.
includeLive	Also save games already in play.
maxItems	Maximum rows for the run (0 = no limit). One NFL week on all four books is about 340 rows.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.50 per 1,000 rows (each row = one book's price for one outcome, or one best-line row), plus $0.001 per league read (all selected books' prices for that league fetched and matched) and $0.001 per run (at the default 256 MB memory). You never pay for prices skipped by onlyChanged, filtered out by minEdgePct, or beyond your maxItems, nor for a league none of your selected books answered for.

Examples: one NFL week on all four books (≈ 340 rows) ≈ $0.51; the moneyline of one Premier League round on all four books (120 rows) ≈ $0.18; a scheduled onlyChanged check of one league where nothing moved = $0.002.

Tips

• Polling: schedule the actor (e.g. every 5–15 minutes) with onlyChanged: true — each run only returns and charges moved prices.
• +EV only: minEdgePct: 1 returns just the soft-book prices at least 1% above Pinnacle's fair line.
• Arbitrage only: onlyArbitrage: true returns nothing (and costs only the run and league-read fees) unless an arbitrage exists.
• Narrow the window with hoursAhead (e.g. 24) for same-day betting.
• Join rows across books and runs with eventKey; join outcomes with market + line + outcome.
• Smarkets is an exchange: it charges a commission on net winnings (about 2%), which the arbitrage check does not subtract.

FAQ

How fresh are the prices? They are read live from each book when the run starts — a one-league run takes about 5 seconds.

How are games matched across books? By both team names (with spelling variants like "Man Utd" / "Manchester United") and the start time. Games listed with home and away swapped (neutral venues) are re-oriented so every row uses the same home team and spread sign.

What is the edge? The expected return of a 1-unit bet at that price if Pinnacle's no-vig probability is the true probability: edge = fair probability × decimal odds − 1. Pinnacle's own prices show a small negative edge (its margin).

Where do the DraftKings prices come from? From the main lines DraftKings publishes to ESPN's public scoreboards (current and opening line). They cover games within about a day or a week depending on the sport, and only the main line per market.

Why does a league return no games? It is off-season, or no game starts within hoursAhead. The run still succeeds and tells you so; you pay only the run and league-read fees.

Is it legal to scrape sportsbook odds? The actor reads only public odds pages that anyone can see without an account, at a modest pace, and respects each site's robots.txt. Odds are factual price data. Whether and how you may use them depends on your country and purpose — betting itself is restricted in many places — so check the rules that apply to you.

Does it access any private data? No. It reads public prices and team names only — no accounts, no personal data, no bets.

What if a book is unavailable? Each book is read separately: if one is down or refuses, its prices are missing, the other books are still saved, and the run's status message says which book and why. When the missing book is Pinnacle, the fair-probability and edge columns stay empty for that run; the next run usually has them again.
