Matched feed

A matched feed delivers bookmaker back prices already paired against exchange lay prices, so a product skips building its own matcher.

A matched feed is the already-done version of an oddsmatcher's hard half: instead of raw prices, each row is a back/exchange-lay pair for one selection, with the lay liquidity carried so the rating and qualifying loss are one line of maths at your own commission rate.

It is OddsRelay's core product. Building the matcher that produces this (collecting books, pulling exchange lay, pairing, rating, liquidity-gating, continuously) is roughly a year of engineering, which the matched feed removes.

OddsRelay delivers this as part of one already-matched feed. See live coverage on the coverage dashboard.
