Pick’em Integration

This section of the document outlines the integration process for our Pick’em feed and what Pick'em exactly means.

In sports betting, a pick'em is when both teams/players or result of a total or handicap line are seen roughly as equal probability, and a bet on either of these selections would return the same amount of money. People generally use the term “Pick'em” loosely, meaning the odds don't always have to be exactly the same for a matchup to be regarded as a pick'em. Pick'em example of Player market:

This is a normal market inside an Event. But it can be classifies as a Pick'em market as well due to the probabilities being exactly the same.

Pick'em example of Teams market:

Same case with this one, a normal Winner market here, where the odds are not exactly the same but it can be classified as a Pick'em market.

Pick'em example of UI:

Pick'em aka Pick Them is essentially making a choice: Yes or No, Team 1 or Team 2, Over x.x or Under x.x etc This Pick'em stream provides four distinct types of deltas. Specific deltas can be identified by the “Type” field. Connecting to the feed stream is accomplished via WebSocket, the same protocol employed for our other feeds. This feed will exclusively transmit Pick’em events and markets. Bet placement will function identically to that of regular markets (with the exception of pre-match bets), albeit with market contingency on our end. We have configured the markets within an event for players to place so-called multi-bets. A novel field, “enum BetType,” has been introduced in the bet placement request. The value of 0 corresponds to standard bets, while 1 signifies Pick’em bets.

Pick'em markets use the same translations as the ones that come through our translations feed.
