Fixture Types

This documentation explains the differences between regular sports fixtures, outright leagues, and outright sports.

Standard Fixtures

Definition: A Standard Fixture refers to a scheduled match or event played between two opponents, which can be teams (e.g., clubs, national teams, esports teams) or individual players (e.g., tennis players, esports players, etc.).

Key Characteristics:

• Individual Events: Each fixture represents a single, standalone event.

• Outcome Bets: Bets are placed on specific outcomes such as the match winner, total goals, or specific player performances.

• Short-Term: The result is determined within the duration of the match, usually within a few hours.

Example:

• Football Match: Manchester United vs. Liverpool. Bets can be placed on various outcomes such as the match winner, correct score, or number of goals scored.

Outright Leagues Fixtures

Definition: An outright league refers to a competition where the overall outcome is determined over a series of events, typically spanning an entire season or tournament.

Key Characteristics:

• Long-Term Bets: Bets are placed on outcomes that are determined over an extended period, such as the winner of the entire league.

• Cumulative Performance: The outcome depends on the cumulative performance of teams or players across multiple fixtures.

• Multiple Markets: Bettors can wager on a variety of markets, including league winner, top scorer, or teams to be relegated.

Example:

• Premier League: Bettors can place bets at the beginning or during the season on which team will win the league, which player will score the most goals, or which teams will be relegated.

Standard Outright Fixtures

Definition: Outright refers to competitions where the outcome is determined by a single event or a series of related events, typically within a specific sport like horse racing.

Key Characteristics:

• Single or Series Events: The outcome may be determined by a single race or a series of races within a short timeframe.

• Focused Markets: Bets are often placed on the winner of the event or specific places (e.g., win, place, show).

• Variable Duration: The duration can vary from a few minutes (in the case of a single race) to a few days or weeks (in the case of a tournament).

Example:

• Horse Racing: Bettors can place bets on which horse will win a particular race, place in the top three, or perform best over a series of races in a meet or tournament.
