Arbitrage Leg

Q: What is an arbitrage leg?

A: An arbitrage leg is one specific bet inside a strategy.

An arbitrage strategy is usually not one bet. It is a group of bets executed together.

For example:

Leg Bookmaker Odds
Over 2.5 M88 2.05
Under 2.5 PS888 1.98

This strategy has two legs.

Each leg usually contains four pieces of information:

Field Meaning
bettype The betting direction, such as over, under, or moneyline_home
handicap The market line, such as 2.5 or -0.25
dealer The bookmaker or data source
odd The decimal odds

A leg is not a standalone recommendation. It only makes sense together with the other legs under the same strategy_id.

If only one leg is executed, the remaining outcomes are no longer covered, and the position becomes a directional bet.
