Quick Answer

TheStatsAPI provides Pinnacle football odds through the match odds endpoint, alongside Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook, and Kambi prices. Developers use Pinnacle as the sharp, low-margin reference book, deriving no-vig fair-value probabilities from its lines when measuring whether a prediction model beat the market.

  • Endpoint: /football/matches/{match_id}/odds
  • Best for: CLV and model validation.
  • Availability varies by match, competition, bookmaker, and market.

Why Pinnacle odds matter

Pinnacle is useful because its prices are commonly treated as a sharp market benchmark. If your football model consistently beats Pinnacle last-seen or closing prices where available, it has stronger evidence of predictive edge than if it only beats softer retail prices.

  • Benchmark model probability against market probability
  • Compare sharp prices with retail books
  • Measure closing line value over a long sample

How to use Pinnacle with TheStatsAPI

Fetch the match odds response, isolate the Pinnacle bookmaker object, then compare opening and last-seen prices against your own model probabilities or against retail prices from Bet365, Paddy Power, and Betfair Sportsbook. Pinnacle's low-margin lines make the best fair-value benchmark once you strip the vig.

  • Convert decimal odds into implied probability
  • Remove margin before comparing model edge
  • Store opening and last-seen values for audit trails
