How does the Markets filter work?
The markets filter allows you to select which market types you want to be alerted for. If you tick a market then you will receive alerts for that market if you don’t tick a market then you won’t receive alerts for that market. Three types of markets are supported on POD: moneyline, spreads and totals.
Moneyline
A moneyline bet is a wager on the outcome of an event. There are two types of moneyline bets 3-way and 2-way.
3-way vs 2-way moneylines
Moneyline 3-way bets (sometimes referred to as 1x2) offer three potential outcomes win, lose and draw.
Moneyline 2-way bets offer two potential outcomes win or lose. If the match ends in a draw then the stake is refunded. Moneyline 2-ways are very rare in soccer but common in basketball.
You must make sure that you are comparing 3-way moneyline markets on POD to 3-way moneyline markets on your soft sportsbooks and 2-way moneyline markets to 2-way moneyline markets or else you may end up placing negative expected value bets as the NVP will be different for the two types of moneyline.
Whether the market is 2 way or 3-way is indicated in every alert in the ‘Outcome’ column.
Spreads
Spreads (POD only covers Asian handicap-type spreads) are a way of betting that is mostly used in football. Spreads mean that one team has a virtual lead over the other side.
Totals
Totals betting, also known as over/under betting, is a popular form of sports wagering where bettors predict whether the combined score of both teams in a game will be over or under a specified number set by the bookmaker.
