Usage Examples

Choose Best Odds (5 Bookies)

What it does: This automatically selects and places bets on the 5 bookmaker accounts that currently offer the best (highest) odds for your selection, maximizing your potential returns. The stake amount ($10) will be placed on EACH of the 5 selected bookmaker sessions.

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "BELMONT",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 6,
  "market": "Fixed Win",
  "selection": "3",
  "stake": 10,
  "choose_best_odds": 5,
  "sports": "RACING"
}

Bet on All Bookies Above Minimum Odds

What it does: This places bets on all available bookmaker accounts, but only if the current odds are above your specified minimum threshold of $3.00. This ensures you only bet when the odds provide sufficient value. The stake amount ($20) will be placed on EACH bookmaker session that meets the minimum odds criteria.

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "FLEMINGTON",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 8,
  "market": "Fixed Win",
  "selection": "5",
  "stake": 20,
  "check_odds": true,
  "odds": 3.0,
  "sports": "RACING"
}

Ensure Total Wager Across All Sessions

What it does: This places a total wager amount of $100 across all selected bookmaker sessions. Unlike the previous examples where the stake is placed on each session, this will divide the total amount equally across all qualifying sessions. For example, if 5 sessions qualify, each will receive $20 ($100 ÷ 5 sessions).

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "RANDWICK",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 3,
  "market": "Fixed Win",
  "selection": "7",
  "stake": 100,
  "ensure_total_wager": true,
  "check_odds": true,
  "odds": 2.0,
  "sports": "RACING"
}

Same Race Multi Bet

What it does: This places a Same Race Multi bet where you select multiple runners for different finishing positions in the same race. In this example, Runner 1 is selected for Top 2 finish and Runner 5 is selected for Top 3 finish. The stake amount ($15) will be placed on EACH bookmaker session.

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "CAULFIELD",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 5,
  "market": "Same Race Multi",
  "selection": "1:2,5:3",
  "stake": 15,
  "check_odds": true,
  "odds": 4.0,
  "sports": "RACING"
}

Scheduled Bet - 120 Seconds Before Race Jump

What it does: This schedules a bet to be placed automatically 120 seconds (2 minutes) before the race starts. The bet will be queued and executed at the specified time without manual intervention. The stake amount ($25) will be placed on EACH bookmaker session when the scheduled time is reached.

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "MOONEE VALLEY",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 7,
  "market": "Fixed Win",
  "selection": "4",
  "stake": 25,
  "is_scheduled": true,
  "auto_trigger": true,
  "scheduled_at": 120,
  "sports": "RACING"
}

Scheduled Bet - Manual Trigger Required

What it does: This creates a scheduled bet that will appear in your Betmatic dashboard and wait for you to manually press the 'Trigger' button when you want the bet to be placed. The purpose of using the API in this case is so you don't need to manually enter all your bet details into the dashboard - you can pre-configure multiple bets via API and then trigger them at your chosen moment from the dashboard interface.

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "FLEMINGTON",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 9,
  "market": "Fixed Win",
  "selection": "2",
  "stake": 30,
  "is_scheduled": true,
  "check_odds": true,
  "odds": 2.5,
  "sports": "RACING"
}

Racing Bet with Session Delay

This example demonstrates how to set exact delays for multiple specific sessions. The session_delay array defines precise timing for each session, with is_random set to false to ensure consistent execution timing.

{
  "type": "Fixed Wager",
  "competition": "BELMONT",
  "code": "Galloping",
  "event_number": 6,
  "market": "Fixed Win",
  "selection": "3",
  "stake": 10,
  "target_session": "session_nickname&session_two",
  "session_delay": [
    {
      "delay": 5,
      "is_random": false,
      "identifier": "session_nickname"
    },
    {
      "delay": 3,
      "is_random": false,
      "identifier": "session_two"
    }
  ],
  "sports": "RACING",
  "label": "Strategy A"
}
