Markets represent the type of bet available for an event. Each market has a numeric market_id used throughout the API. Markets are split into prematch and live/in-play categories.

Sport × Market Availability

Not every market is available for every sport. Core markets (moneyline, spread, total) are broadly available, but player props and sport-specific markets vary. Use GET /api/v2/sports/{sportID}/markets/{date} to check which markets have active pricing on a given day.

Player Props
The player prop market IDs listed above (29, 33, 35, 38, 39, etc.) are basketball-centric examples. Each sport has its own set of prop markets — for example, MLB has Player Strikeouts, Player Hits, and Player Home Runs. Use the market definitions endpoint or GET /api/v2/markets to discover all available markets and their IDs.

Sport-Specific Notes

  • MLB: Includes pitcher-specific markets. Starting pitcher information affects line availability — lines may show 0.0001 (off the board) until pitchers are confirmed. See Sentinel Values.
  • Soccer (IDs 10-19 and 33): Moneyline is a 3-way market (home, draw, away) rather than the 2-way market used in US sports. The draw outcome appears as a third participant in the moneyline market.
  • Tennis (IDs 38-39): Match markets use full-game periods (0 prematch, 7 live). Set-specific markets use tennis-only market IDs such as moneyline_first_set (1150), spread_first_set (1151), and totals_first_set (1152) with set periods such as 3, 4, 15, and 16.
  • UFC/MMA: Does not have spread markets. Moneyline and total rounds are the primary markets. Method-of-victory and round betting are available as prop markets.
  • CFL: Supports core markets (moneyline, spread, total) but does not currently support player props.

Participant-Shaped vs. Line-Valued Markets

Market definitions include line_value_is_participant to tell you where the meaningful selection detail lives. When line_value_is_participant: true, the market is participant-shaped: the participant carries the selection, and the line value may be a placeholder or label. Moneylines and Yes/No-style result markets commonly work this way. When line_value_is_participant: false, the line value is meaningful and should be displayed when present. This includes spreads, totals, player stat thresholds, and special markets where the detail is a method, round, or other outcome qualifier. For example, UFC method-of-victory markets use the fighter as the participant and expose the method, such as decision or KO/TKO, as the line value.
