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.

A betting app needs odds from the books its users hold accounts with, event status, results and a way to get the user onto the bet. SockOdds delivers all four in one feed: 21 Australian bookmakers, status flags, results where sourced, and event and bet-slip deeplinks, in the SportsGameOdds schema.
