The matched feed — done-for-you, oddsmatcher-ready

The matched feed is the done-for-you side of OddsRelay's feed: not raw prices, but the finished relationship. Every bookmaker back price across 60+ UK books, bet365 included as standard, arrives already paired to a current exchange lay price, rated, with the qualifying loss computed — across seven feed types from one endpoint. It's the feed a matched-betting or arbitrage product renders directly, instead of building the matching layer yourself. Prefer to do exactly that? That's the co-equal raw feed.Powers a leading UK matched-betting platform.

Paired, rated, liquidity-gated — qualifying loss and profit already computed. You render the row.

What's in the box

Each row is a complete opportunity, not a data point: the bookmaker back price, the paired exchange lay price with its liquidity, a rating expressing how close the two sit, the qualifying loss a standard back-and-lay would cost, and the potential profit. Those are the exact columns an oddsmatcher shows — the response maps one-to-one to the table your users see.

The lay side is drawn from the three liquid UK exchanges — Betfair, Smarkets and Matchbook — with liquidity attached, so a pair is real rather than nominal. The same processed shape runs through all seven feed types, so the offer-specific tools that make a platform sticky consume the same schema as the everyday oddsmatcher: one integration covers the whole surface.

Why buy it matched rather than raw

A raw odds feed hands you unpaired prices and leaves the relational work — pairing a back price to the exchange lay side, aligning selection names across books, computing ratings and applying liquidity gates — as your engineering. The matched feed does that layer for you, so an opportunity arrives finished rather than as a pipeline you own and maintain.

Depth is what makes the pairing worth having. The back side spans 60+ UK bookmakers, including the smaller books a shallow feed leaves out; the lay side draws on three exchanges. A tight pair at a book you don't carry is a row your competitor shows and you don't. The full picture is checkable before you sign up — the coverage dashboard is live and the docs are public.

Who it's built for

Matched-betting platforms and oddsmatchers render the rows directly. Arbitrage and value tools consume the dutching and rated outputs. Odds-comparison sites and tipster platforms use it as a trustworthy, normalised spine. If you're weighing which product fits your build, the solutions pages frame it by need and the audience pages frame it by who you are.

The feed already powers a leading UK matched-betting platform, so the shape you'd render is serving real users today — proof stays anonymised, and the coverage behind it stays public on the dashboard.

How it's delivered

Integration is deliberately small: authenticate, request a feed type, render the rows. The docs carry sample responses for every feed type, so most teams have a first call working the same afternoon. Regional coverage fans out from the same feed — the UK is live today, with regional packs expanding; the regions view shows exactly what's live versus on the roadmap, and never claims coverage before it ships.

When you outgrow the trial, licensing is scoped in a conversation rather than a pricing maze. Start with a free trial key to put the matched feed in your own product this week, or talk to us about a licence.

What you get

Back and lay, paired

Every back price arrives matched to a current exchange lay price for the same selection — Betfair, Smarkets and Matchbook on the lay side, liquidity attached.

Rated, with loss and profit

Each pair carries its rating, `qualifying_loss` and potential profit pre-computed — the columns an oddsmatcher renders directly, no processing layer to build.

bet365 included as standard

bet365 is a first-class book in the pairing, [included as standard](/odds-api/bet365) alongside 60+ UK bookmakers across every feed type.

Seven feed types, one schema

Standard, each-way, extra-place, BOG, dutching, 2up and price-boost share one processed shape — see [feed types](/products/feed-types).

An honest note

The matched feed is pre-match, polling on roughly a three-second cycle — the right cadence for pre-match matched betting and arbitrage, where positions are taken before kick-off. It does not stream in-play prices, and we don't claim it does. bet365 is included as standard, not exclusively — other providers carry it too; the difference here is that it arrives already paired to the lay side. Regional packs beyond the UK are described as expanding or roadmap, never as shipped, until they're live on the dashboard.

Questions

How is the matched feed different from a raw odds feed?

Output. A raw feed delivers unpaired bookmaker back prices; the matched feed pairs each back price to a current exchange lay price for the same selection, with a rating and qualifying loss attached — the processed shape an oddsmatcher or arbitrage scanner consumes directly, with bet365 included as standard.

Which exchanges supply the lay side?

Betfair, Smarkets and Matchbook. Every back price is paired to a current lay price from one of these three UK exchanges, with liquidity included so your product can filter out pairs that can't actually be laid.

Is bet365 included?

Yes, as standard, across all seven feed types. Other providers also carry bet365 — the difference is that here it arrives already paired to exchange lay prices rather than raw.

Which regions does the matched feed cover?

The United Kingdom is live today. Regional packs — South Africa and Nigeria first — are expanding, and are described as expanding or roadmap rather than shipped until they're live on the coverage dashboard.

Can I try it before committing?

Yes. The coverage dashboard is public, the docs are public, and a free trial key puts the real matched feed into your own product so you can compare rows rather than marketing pages.
