Sports Ticker Format
Market Maker Reference
This specification defines the ticker format for sports prediction markets. Use this as the authoritative reference for ticker generation and parsing.
Overview
Sports prediction market tickers follow a hierarchical structure designed to be:
- Hierarchical - Event tickers group related contracts
- Sortable - Alphabetical sorting clusters all markets for a game
- Parseable - Deterministic structure enables programmatic parsing
- Human-readable - Encodes game, market type, and position in a compact format
Sports are organized into two categories based on ticker format:
| Category | Sports | Structure |
|---|---|---|
| Team Sports | NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, EPL, World Cup, International Friendlies, NCAAM | Home vs Away matchup format |
| Individual Sports | Golf, Formula 1 | Tournament/race with N competitors |

Soccer-Specific (EPL, UCL, MLS, FIFAWC, INTLFRIENDLY)
| Type | Code | Description | Contract Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moneyline | M | 3-way result | {TEAM} or D (draw) |
| To Advance (Winner) | A | Which team wins the match and advances. Single-leg knockout matches only — two contracts, no draw. | {TEAM} |
| Correct Score | CS | Exact final scoreline in regulation time. World Cup only. | {HOME}{H}{AWAY}{A} |
| Team Total | TT | A single team's goals over/under in regulation time. World Cup only. | {TEAM}O{LINE} |
Soccer also uses the standard Spread (S) and Total (T) markets above, with half-goal lines (e.g. BRA2 = Brazil -2.5, O2 = Over 2.5 goals). The moneyline, spread, and total markets resolve on regulation time plus stoppage only — extra time and penalties are excluded. The To Advance (Winner) market (A) is the exception: it settles on which team ultimately wins a single-leg knockout match, including extra time and penalties. See the To Advance contract section below.
Contract Ticker Formats
Moneyline (-M)
Contract Ticker: {TEAM}
| Contract | Meaning |
|---|---|
DAL | Dallas |
HOU | Houston |
D | Draw (soccer only) |
Full Ticker Example: GEMI-NBA-2602121800-HOU-DAL-M-DAL
Spread (-S)
Contract Ticker: {TEAM}{LINE}
| Contract | Meaning |
|---|---|
DAL6 | Dallas -6.5 |
HOU6 | Houston +6.5 |
Line Convention
All lines (spreads and totals) use whole numbers only. The .5 is always implied. For example, DAL6 means Dallas -6.5 and O222 means Over 222.5.
Full Ticker Example: GEMI-NBA-2602121800-HOU-DAL-S-DAL6
Total (-T)
Contract Ticker: O{LINE} or U{LINE}
| Contract | Meaning |
|---|---|
O222 | Over 222.5 |
U222 | Under 222.5 |
Full Ticker Example: GEMI-NBA-2602121800-HOU-DAL-T-O222
Team Total (-TT)
The Team Total market is an over/under on a single team's score rather than the combined game total. On FIFA World Cup soccer matches it is offered as over lines on each team's goals in regulation time (90 minutes plus stoppage) — extra time and penalties are excluded, consistent with the moneyline, spread, total, and correct-score markets. As with spreads and totals, the line uses whole numbers with the .5 implied (e.g. ENGO1 = England Over 1.5 goals). Its event ticker is the game ticker with the -TT type suffix.
Contract Ticker: {TEAM}O{LINE} or {TEAM}U{LINE}
| Contract | Meaning |
|---|---|
ENGO1 | England Over 1.5 goals |
ARGO0 | Argentina Over 0.5 goals |
HOUO110 | Houston Over 110.5 |
HOUU110 | Houston Under 110.5 |
DALO112 | Dallas Over 112.5 |
DALU112 | Dallas Under 112.5 |
Full Ticker Examples: GEMI-FIFAWC-2607152100-ARG-ENG-TT-ENGO1 (England Over 1.5 goals) and GEMI-NBA-2602121800-HOU-DAL-TT-HOUO110 (Houston Over 110.5).
To Advance (-A)
The To Advance market (also called the Winner market) is offered on single-leg knockout soccer matches — for example, World Cup knockout-round games. Because a knockout match must produce a winner (extra time and, if needed, penalties when level after 90 minutes), this market has exactly two contracts and no draw. Its event ticker is the moneyline ticker with the -M suffix replaced by -A.
Contract Ticker: {TEAM}
| Contract | Meaning |
|---|---|
QAT | Qatar advances |
CAN | Canada advances |
Full Ticker Example: GEMI-FIFAWC-2606182200-QAT-CAN-A-QAT
To Advance vs. Moneyline
A single-leg knockout match is listed as both markets:
- Moneyline (
-M) — 3-way, settles on the regulation (90-minute + stoppage) result, and includes aDdraw contract. - To Advance / Winner (
-A) — two contracts, no draw, settles on which team wins the match after extra time and penalties.
Group-stage matches are listed as a moneyline only.
Eligibility
| Match type | To Advance offered? |
|---|---|
| Single-leg knockout (Round of 32/16, quarterfinal, semifinal, final, third-place) | Yes |
| Group / league stage | No — moneyline only |
| Two-legged tie (aggregate) | No |
| Best-of-N series | No |
Correct Score (-CS)
The Correct Score market lists a grid of exact final scorelines for a match. It is currently offered on FIFA World Cup matches only. Each contract is one exact scoreline and resolves Yes only if the match ends with that precise score in regulation time (90 minutes plus stoppage) — extra time and penalties are excluded, consistent with the moneyline, spread, and total markets. Its event ticker is the game ticker with the -CS type suffix.
Contract Ticker: {HOME}{H}{AWAY}{A}
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
HOME | Home team abbreviation |
H | Home team goals in regulation |
AWAY | Away team abbreviation |
A | Away team goals in regulation |
| Contract | Meaning |
|---|---|
ESP1BEL0 | Spain 1, Belgium 0 |
ESP0BEL0 | 0–0 draw |
ESP2BEL1 | Spain 2, Belgium 1 |
Full Ticker Example: GEMI-FIFAWC-2607101900-BEL-ESP-CS-ESP1BEL0
Scoreline set is not exhaustive
The scorelines listed for a match mirror the correct-score markets on the underlying data source, so unlikely blowout scores may not be offered. If a match's regulation score is not among the listed contracts, every contract in the market resolves to No.
Individual Sports
Individual sports use a tournament or race-based ticker format. Instead of a home/away matchup, the event represents a competition with N individual competitors, each getting their own contract.
