Market Type List and Market Behaviour

Please request access to the following spreadsheet for comprehensive trading info, including:

Important trading information

• The following validations are carried out by BetLink backend before making bet placement request to the operator:

  • price validation (there is no need for traders to validate or manage prices)

  • market, selection, event validation (there is no need for trading team to manage status of event or whether the selection/market/event exists or correlates to its defined selection/market/event.)

• In the event of loss of connection to BetLink Backend or upstream odds provider the BetLink UI will suspend all selections

• Currently only support singles, when multiples and complex bets are introduced BetLink will provide field `betType` and carry out validations around whether or not markets are related and can be combined.

• Currently support 3 competitionIds:

  • comp.golf_1320877 (LPGA Tour)

  • comp.golf_1320865 (PGA Tour)

  • comp.golf_1320867 (European Tour)
