Home, draw and away odds: how to use them in the bot
3 min readHow to ask the bot for pre-match or live odds on the home team, the draw or the away team, using the preset odds or your own range.
The odds tell the bot what kind of team you're looking for. A home team with odds up to 1.50 is a strong favourite; with odds of 2.50 or more it is no longer the favourite. With the odds conditions, the bot only looks at matches where the home team, the draw or the away team has the odds you chose.
Where they are
In step 3 (Conditions), open Stats, click Choose stat and go to the Odds and competition tab, Odds category. There are six conditions:
- Odd Pre-live Home, Odd Pre-live Draw and Odd Pre-live Away: the odds before the match starts.
- Odd Live Home, Odd Live Draw and Odd Live Away: the odds at the moment of the alert. They only exist in During the match bots.
Choosing the odds
Instead of a minimum and maximum slider, you pick one of the preset odds from the list next to the word Odds:
- Strong favourite: odds up to 1.50.
- Favourite: odds up to 1.80.
- Slight favourite: odds up to 2.20.
- Underdog: odds 2.50 or more.
- Other odds…: you type the range yourself, from … to …, between 1.01 and 25.
For example, Odd Pre-live Home: Favourite (odds up to 1.80) makes the bot look only for matches where the home team started as a clear favourite. For an evenly matched game, use Other odds on both the home and the away odds, for example from 2.20 to 3.20 on each.
Pre-match or live?
The pre-match odds don't change after kick-off. They describe the team: favourite, underdog, evenly matched game.
The live odds are the odds at the moment of the alert, and they change with the score and the minutes. They describe the moment: a home team that started as favourite and now has odds of 2.50 or more is, as a rule, drawing or losing. With live odds you also choose, in a list alongside, whether the odds are for the end of the match or for half time.
Other ways of saying "the favourite"
You don't always need these conditions. The builder has shortcuts that already use the pre-match odds:
- in Score at the moment of the alert, the options Favourite winning and Favourite drawing or losing;
- in any stat, the Team with odds… option in the list that says whose number it is;
- in Competitions and teams, with Only these teams, the As favourite field.
Use the odds conditions when what matters to you is the side (home, draw or away) and not who the favourite is.
Combining with the rest
The odds define the team's profile; the other conditions describe what is happening in the match. An example:
- Odd Pre-live Home: Favourite (odds up to 1.80);
- Score at the moment of the alert: Draw;
- Dangerous Attacks, Home team: minimum of 1, average per minute, over the last 10 minutes.
Each odds condition counts as 1 of the 3 conditions the bot needs.
