## In the response

- Market key total_goals, one market per period, with every line the book prices inside it.
- Each outcome is over or under and carries its own line, so 2.5 and 2.75 sit side by side in one market.
- Team totals are separate keys: home_total_goals and away_total_goals.

## What people build

- **Goal expectation.** The over/under ladder is the market's view of how many goals a match will have. Fit a Poisson model to it to get implied expected goals.
- **Line shopping.** Books don't all price the same lines; Pinnacle often centres on 2.75 or 3.0 while sportsbooks always offer 2.5. Match on line, not position.
- **Alerts.** Watch the main line move as team news lands and flag matches where one book lags the others.

## FAQ

### What do quarter lines like 2.25 mean?

A 2.25 line splits the stake: half on 2.0 and half on 2.5. If the match has exactly two goals, the over half pushes and the other half loses. The API returns the line as a number, 2.25.

### Do all bookmakers price over/under 2.5?

Most do, but not always: Pinnacle sometimes quotes only its main lines (for example 2.75 to 3.25) on a match. Read the line from each outcome rather than assuming 2.5 is there.

### How do I get only over/under odds?

Pass ?markets=total_goals to the odds endpoint. Add &period=full_time to drop the half-time lines.

### Are team goal totals included?

Yes, as home_total_goals and away_total_goals, on the books that price them.
