True odds (devig)

The odds published by Pinnacle include a margin (vig/overround). The todds1 / todds0 / todds2 fields are the devig odds (margin removed logarithmically) — the fair probabilities. They are present on every snapshot of /api/odds (not only opening/closing), which lets you track how the edge evolves over time.

Detecting value (+EV)

Compare a bookmaker’s odds to the todds. If a book offers odds higher than the corresponding todds, it is a positive expected value opportunity.

Since Pinnacle is the sharpest book, its devig odds are your OTB (Odds To Beat) — the reference for identifying value and computing CLV.

Specials & outrights

/api/specials/odds also includes a todds field on each line. All contestants of a special are devig together (2-way or N-outcome market).

CLV

Use /api/clv to compare your bet price to the closing price and get the clv_pct:

curl "https://api.apinn.io/api/clv?event_id=1632370816&period=0&market=moneyline&selection=draw&bet_price=3.5" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"
# → { "closing_price": 3.11, "clv_pct": 12.54 }
