Mixed combo bets

Mixed Combo Bets

Overview

Mixed Combo Bets combine DataBet selections with foreign (non-DataBet) selections in a single bet. Since we don't have data for foreign selections, we cannot settle them or calculate cash outs automatically.

Process

Bet Placement (POST /bets): Send all foreign selections in the foreign_selections field

Bet Settlement (PATCH /bets/{bet_id}): Notify us when foreign selections are settled

Can we omit sending foreign selections?

No, foreign selections are required for correct risk and load calculation, as well as for the bet reporting system.

Why foreign selections are mandatory

Consider this scenario: A mixed combo bet contains 2 DataBet selections and 1 foreign selection. If you omit the foreign selection and send only the DataBet selections as a double bet, the system will treat it as a winning bet when both DataBet selections win. However, if the foreign selection actually loses, the entire combo bet should be considered lost, creating inconsistencies in reporting and risk calculations.

Required vs. optional information

Required information: - Unique identifier of the odd (could be anything, but must stay consistent across requests) - Foreign odd value (at the time of bet placement) - Final settlement status

Optional information: - Match title - Market/odd name - Any other descriptive details

If partner-side restrictions prevent you from sending complete information about foreign selections, that's acceptable as long as you provide the required odd value and settlement status. Additional information is optional but recommended for better reporting and transparency.

Cash Out

Since we don't have information about the current odd values of foreign selections or their pure probabilities (which are often required to properly calculate cash out amounts), for mixed combo bets the only available cash out option is foreign cash out.
