Developers use the SockOdds API for +EV, arbitrage, odds comparison, betting apps, live status, pick'em tools, ML models, prediction markets and AI agents. Each page covers the problem, the relevant endpoints and fields, a code example, a comparison table and FAQs.

## Betting Tools

### Odds API for Arbitrage Betting

An arbitrage betting API that returns every Australian book's price per market through byBookmaker, so you can scan every bookmaker and alt line for arbs and middles.

### Odds Comparison & Line Shopping API

Compare bookmaker odds with one API call. SockOdds returns every book's price under byBookmaker, a consensus line, and click-to-bet deeplinks.

### Odds API for Positive EV Betting

Positive EV betting API with no-vig fairOdds and every AU book's price side by side, so you can surface +EV bets without building your own devig pipeline.

## Apps & Products

### Live & In-Play Betting Odds API

Pre-match lines and live event status across every Australian book, refreshed every couple of minutes, with the honest flags a live product needs.

### Odds API for Parlay Builders

A multi and same-game-multi builder API: pull every market as a leg (props, alt lines, game markets), normalise via oddID, and compute combined odds.

### Sports Odds API for Betting Apps

The sports betting app API with odds from every major Australian bookmaker, event status, results, and click-to-bet deeplinks in a single feed.

### Odds Data API for Sports Betting Models & Backtesting

Sports betting machine learning data API with retained events, no-vig fair odds labels, and results for training and backtesting models on AFL, NRL and more.
