New (May 2026): numerical_idPermalink for this section

numerical_id is a frozen, dense-from-1 integer assigned per sportsbook in the SharpAPI atlas. It’s stable across rebrands and slug renames — pinnacle is numerical_id: 28 regardless of any future display-name changes.

  • Frozen: never reused or remapped.
  • Optional: absent (or null) for sportsbooks not yet mapped (e.g. brand-new books in the catalog before assignment); slug id is always present.
  • Domain-scoped: unique across sportsbooks only.

Every odds row and opportunity leg also carries a matching sportsbook_ref block ({id, label, numerical_id}). See Entity reference IDs.

Book Access by TierPermalink for this section

The requires_tier field indicates the minimum subscription tier needed to access a sportsbook’s odds data through the API.

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. Each odds row carries a single timestamp field — the time SharpAPI last refreshed that row through its pipeline (feed-freshness, matching OpticOdds), which advances every ingest cycle even when Pinnacle holds the line steady. It is not when the price last moved; SharpAPI no longer exposes a separate “when the price last changed” field. See understanding the timestamp field 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.

Polymarket rows additionally carry a polymarket_resolution field reflecting the upstream UMA optimistic-oracle lifecycle (settled_normal / voided / disputed / proposed / unknown). See Polymarket Resolution for the per-value semantics and the upstream caveat that cancellation, participant withdrawal, and event-not-occurred all collapse to the single voided bucket.

Sharp vs Soft BooksPermalink for this section

Sharp BooksPermalink for this section

  • 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 BooksPermalink for this section

  • 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.
