Odds Suspension Logic

As part of the TRADE goal to guarantee its customers the most reliable data, aligned to market trends in order to minimize risk, TRADE suspends odds if above 50% of the providers are suspending the odds.

• In InPlay and PreMatch, TRADE suspends odds if above 50% of the providers are suspending the odds.

• The TRADE refers only to providers who offered odds on the market:

  • If a provider in the market list did not offer odds on the market from the beginning, TRADE wouldn’t consider him in the total number of providers for the majority calculation.

  • If a provider sends a suspension from the beginning, TRADE will take it into account as part of the calculation since TRADE does not differentiate when the suspension was sent. Once there is a suspended odd it will be part of the majority calculation.

  • If a provider in the market list offers odds on the markets at the beginning and later removes the odds, TRADE sees it as suspended odds. Therefore, this provider will be considered as part of the majority calculation.

• Mandatory provider:

  • If a mandatory provider sends odds with an open status but the majority of the providers send odds with a suspended status --> the bet status should be suspended as the bets' majority status is suspended.

  • If a mandatory provider sends odds with a suspended status but the majority of the providers send odds with an open status --> the bet status should be suspended as the mandatory provider sent a suspended status.

• Outliers:

  • The primary goal of the outlier detection system is to identify and prevent abnormal odds from occurring. Odds are compared against the collected odds' median, and flags odds that exceed the allowed deviation limits.

  • Suspended odds due to ‘outlier' detection won’t be counted as suspended providers, and TRADE won’t consider them in the total providers for the majority calculation.
