Welcome to BookieSports’s documentation!¶

BookieSports is a module that contains the management information for BOS. This management information describes which sports are supported, which leagues and participants are available and how and what betting markets are created and resolved.

Structure¶

This repository contains

the sports with emta data supported by bookied
schema files for validation of the provided data
a python module to facilitate loading of the data

Folders: * bookiesports/: Contains the module that can be loaded from python to obtain the sports data. * bookiesports/bookiesports: Each sport has it’s own folder which carries the most important information in a sports-specific index.yaml file. * bookiesports/schema/: Contains the yaml formated json schemata for validation of the bookie sports files.

Outline¶

Installation¶

pip3 install bookiesports

bookiesports package¶

Submodules¶

bookiesports.cli module¶

bookiesports.datestring module¶

bookiesports.datestring.date_to_string(date_object=None)¶: rfc3339 conform string represenation of a date can also be given as str YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS

bookiesports.datestring.string_to_date(date_string=None)¶: assumes rfc3339 conform string and creates date object

bookiesports.exceptions module¶

exception bookiesports.exceptions.SportsNotFoundError¶: Bases: Exception

bookiesports.log module¶

bookiesports.normalize module¶

exception bookiesports.normalize.EventGroupNotNormalizableException¶: Bases: bookiesports.normalize.NotNormalizableException

class bookiesports.normalize.IncidentsNormalizer(chain=None)¶

Bases: object

This class serves as the normalization entry point for incidents. All events / event group and participant names are replaced with the counterpart stored in the bookiesports package.

DEFAULT_CHAIN = 'beatrice'¶: default chosen chain for bookiesports

NOT_FOUND = {}¶: As class variable to have one stream for missing normalization entries

NOT_FOUND_FILE = None¶: If normalization errors should be written to file, set file here

normalize(incident, errorIfNotFound=False)¶

static not_found(key)¶

static use_chain(chain, not_found_file=None)¶

exception bookiesports.normalize.NotNormalizableException¶: Bases: Exception

exception bookiesports.normalize.ParicipantNotNormalizableException¶: Bases: bookiesports.normalize.NotNormalizableException

exception bookiesports.normalize.SportNotNormalizableException¶: Bases: bookiesports.normalize.NotNormalizableException

Module contents¶

class bookiesports.BookieSports(chain=None, override_cache=False, **kwargs)¶

Bases: dict

This class allows to read the data provided by bookiesports

On instantiation of this class the following procedure happens internally:

Open the directory that stores the sports

Load all Sports

For each sport, load the corresponding data subset (event

groups, events, rules, participants, etc.)

Validate each data subset

Perform consistency checks

Instantiate a dictionary (self)

As a result, the following call will return a dictionary with all the bookiesports:

from bookiesports import BookieSports
x = BookieSports()

Parameters:	chain (string) – One out ‘alice’, ‘beatrice’, or ‘charlie’ to identify which network we are working with. Can also be a relative path to a locally stored copy of a sports folder override_cache (string) – if true, cache is ignored and sports folder is forcibly reloaded and put into cache network (string) – deprecated, please use chain

It is possible to overload a custom sports_folder by providing it to BookieSports as parameter.

BASE_FOLDER = '/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/bookiesports/checkouts/stable/bookiesports/bookiesports'¶

CHAIN_CACHE = {}¶: Singelton to store data and prevent rereading if BookieSports is instantiated multiple times

DEFAULT_CHAIN = 'beatrice'¶

JSON_SCHEMA = None¶: Schema for validation of the data

SPORTS_FOLDER = None¶

chain_id¶

static list_chains()¶

static list_networks()¶: @deprecated please use list_chains

network¶: @deprecated use self.index

network_name¶: @deprecated please use self.chain

static version()¶

Schema¶

For validation of the data format presented in the sports folder, a validation is performed. The corresponding validation schemata are stored in the schema/ subdirectory and used internally when instantiating bookiesports.BookieSports.

Naming Scheme¶

Some bookiesports files (in particular name and description fields) allow the use of variables. Those are dynamic and filled in by bookie-sync, automatically.

As an example, the file MLB_ML_1.yaml defines betting markets for a Moneyline market group. The betting markets carry the name of the event participants. We encode this in bookiesports using variables::

bettingmarkets:
     - description:
         en: '{teams.away}'
     - description:
         en: '{teams.home}'

Overview of variables¶

teams:
- {teams.home}: Home team
- {teams.away}: Away team
result:
- {teams.home}: Points for home team
- {teams.away}: Points for away team
- {teams.hometeam}: Points for home team
- {teams.awayteam}: Points for away team
- {teams.total}: Total Points
handicaps:
- {teams.home}: Comparative (symmetric) Handicaps (e.g., +-2) for home team
- {teams.away}: Comparative (symmetric) Handicaps (e.g., +-2) for away team
- {teams.home_score}: Absolute handicap for home team (e.g., 2)
- {teams.away_score}: Absolute handicap for away team (e.g., 0)
overunder:
- {teams.value}: The over-/under value

Internal Processing¶

The variable parsing is done in bos-sync (substitutions.py) and work through decode_variables and a few classes that deal with the variables. This allows us to have complex variable substitutions.

The variables all consist of a module identifier and the actual member variable::

{module.member}

All modules are listed in the substitutions variable in decode_variables::

substitutions = {
    "teams": Teams,
    "result": Result,
    "handicaps": Handicaps,
    "overunder": OverUnder,
}

The modules themselves (captical first letter) are defined in the same file and can be as easy as

class Result:
    """ Defines a few variables to be used in conjuctions with {result.X}
    """
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        result = kwargs.get("result", [0, 0]) or [0, 0]
        self.hometeam = result[0]
        self.awayteam = result[1]

        self.total = sum([float(x) for x in result])

        # aliases
        self.home = self.hometeam
        self.away = self.awayteam

and as complex as

class Teams:
    """ Defines a few variables to be used in conjuctions with {teams.X}
    """
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        teams = kwargs.get("teams", ["", ""]) or ["", ""]
        self.home = " ".join([
            x.capitalize() for x in teams[0].split(" ")])
        self.away = " ".join([
            x.capitalize() for x in teams[1].split(" ")])
