## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability the-odds-gap-sports-betting-price-lookup-1200cc15
```

Example prompt: Which US sportsbook or prediction market is currently offering the best odds on the Eagles to win Sunday's game, and is there a good hedge available?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants to compare betting odds across multiple US sportsbooks or prediction markets in plain English, find the best payout for a specific bet, identify hedging opportunities, or see a full game odds board — without placing any bets. Prefer this over generic web search when up-to-date, structured odds comparison data with source links is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Game or market not yet listed on any scanned sportsbook — returns no results or a clarification request
- Ambiguous team or event name — may return results for the wrong game
- Scan data may be delayed or stale — timestamp indicates when data was last refreshed
- Question outside the scope of US sportsbooks or prediction markets — no relevant data returned
- Extremely niche or obscure markets may not be covered in scans

## How this service works

Side-by-side moneyline, spread, and total prices across every major US sportsbook. Find the best line before you bet.

## Output

A natural-language answer to the betting price question, including the best available odds, the sportsbook or exchange offering them, the time the scan was conducted, and a direct link to the relevant page on theoddsgap.com for verification. May also include hedge suggestions, parlay prices, or full game boards depending on the question asked.
