Match odds (1X2)
Match odds — home, draw or away (1X2) — is the headline market, normalised across the roster and paired with exchange lay where liquidity allows.
What is match odds (1x2)?
Match odds, often written 1X2, is the bet on the basic result of a fixture: home win (1), draw (X) or away win (2). For two-outcome sports the draw is dropped and it becomes a straight head-to-head. It is the most-priced, most-liquid market and the backbone of comparison, matched betting and arbitrage.
How OddsRelay delivers it
The feed normalises match odds across every book into one schema with consistent selection labels, and pairs the back price against exchange lay so an opportunity is rated, not just listed.
Exchange lay: this market is layable, so back prices are paired against exchange lay and rated.
