About BetFair Sportsbook
Betfair Sportsbook is a popular bookmaker with strong market coverage and regular promotional offers for bettors. Licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, it has built a strong reputation among British and European bettors with deep football and horse racing coverage.
For developers, Betfair Sportsbook data provides a solid soft-bookmaker baseline. Track Betfair Sportsbook’s odds movement relative to sharp books like Pinnacle — when soft book prices lag behind sharp moves, there’s often a brief arbitrage or value window.
OddsPapi delivers Betfair Sportsbook odds via REST API and real-time WebSocket alongside 350+ other bookmakers. Pull pre-match and live odds in clean JSON — no scraping, no commercial access needed. Free tier includes 5,000 requests per month with historical data for backtesting.
