Pinnacle, Circa Sports, Bookmaker, ProphetX, and Betfair require Sharp tier or higher. Pinnacle is a sharp book whose efficient lines are used as the reference for +EV calculations. Circa Sports is another known sharp book with deliberately tight lines and a focused prop menu. Requesting sharp book odds on Free, Hobby, or Pro tier will return a 403 tier_restricted error.

Reading Pinnacle timestamps. odds_changed_at on a Pinnacle row is their trading-desk timestamp, not our pipeline’s. Pinnacle holds lines steady when the market has not moved — an idle value of 30+ minutes is common on MLB player props and NBA markets. Use last_seen_at for pipeline freshness. See Understanding Pinnacle’s odds_changed_at for what “stale” actually means on their feed.

Polymarket and Kalshi are prediction market platforms. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, they use binary outcome contracts priced between $0 and $1. SharpAPI normalizes contract prices into standard odds formats (American, decimal, implied probability) so you can compare them directly with sportsbook odds. Kalshi is CFTC-regulated.

Sharp vs Soft Books

Sharp Books

  • Lower vig (juice) — tighter margins mean better odds accuracy
  • Efficient lines — used as the reference for +EV and fair value calculations
  • Not available in all regions — Pinnacle is not licensed in the US
  • Examples: Pinnacle, Circa Sports, Bookmaker

Soft Books

  • Higher vig — wider margins create more room for +EV opportunities
  • More promotions — bonuses, boosts, and free bets
  • Slower line movement — may lag behind sharp market moves
  • Where value is found — the gap between soft book odds and sharp reference creates +EV
  • Examples: DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars

Sharp books like Pinnacle set efficient lines quickly. Soft books often lag behind, creating windows where their odds offer positive expected value compared to the sharp reference. This is the foundation of +EV betting strategy.

Building a live betting tool? DraftKings and FanDuel have has_live_odds: true but frequently suspend markets during scoring plays and key moments. If you need continuous live coverage, Pinnacle (Sharp tier) is the reliable reference. See Live vs. Pre-Match for a full breakdown of book behavior during live play.
