I am looking for an experienced developer to build a private sports betting research and analytics platform. This is not a basic odds-comparison website or picks app. I already have a detailed betting methodology/model and workflow. The goal is to turn that methodology into a reliable automated system that continuously gathers sportsbook markets, sports statistics, historical results, projections, and other relevant data, then evaluates betting markets according to defined rules. The platform will initially be for private/personal use, not a public sportsbook. Sports to Support The architecture should eventually support: NFL MLB NBA WNBA NHL College Football College Basketball Tennis Soccer MMA/UFC Golf The system should be designed so additional sports and market types can be added without rebuilding the application. Core Features The developer will build a system capable of: Pulling current sportsbook odds and markets, with FanDuel as the primary/execution sportsbook. Comparing FanDuel pricing with other sportsbooks. Capturing standard markets AND alternate markets/ladders. Collecting historical player/team/game statistics. Automatically retrieving final results and player statistics after events. Maintaining a historical database of every evaluated play. Calculating implied probability and removing sportsbook vig where appropriate. Comparing sportsbook probability against model-estimated probability. Evaluating alternate thresholds rather than simply using default sportsbook lines. Tracking line movement. Identifying potentially mispriced markets. Running sport-specific statistical models. Producing estimated probabilities rather than simply generating “picks.” Maintaining configurable qualification rules. Separating qualified plays, research/watch candidates, passed plays and placed bets. Tracking results and model performance over time. Providing a dashboard that can be used easily from both desktop and mobile. Market Coverage I want broad market coverage rather than just moneylines/spreads/totals. Examples include: MLB: pitcher strikeouts, pitcher outs, hitter props, alternate props, NRFI/YRFI, F3/F5, team totals, game totals, sides. NFL: passing/rushing/receiving/receptions, alternate player lines, team markets, spreads, totals and alternate lines. NBA/WNBA: points, rebounds, assists, threes, PRA and combination markets, alternate ladders, double-doubles, team/game markets. Tennis: moneyline, player to win a set, set handicaps, game handicaps, total games, alternate totals, set betting and other available markets. Soccer: match result, double chance, BTTS, team totals, game totals, player shots/SOT, goals and assists. MMA/UFC: moneyline, method of victory, decision/finish, rounds, alternate rounds and related markets. College sports: primarily team markets rather than player props. Statistical / Model Requirements I already have many of the decision rules and want them implemented programmatically. The system should eventually be capable of evaluating factors such as: Historical hit rates at the exact proposed threshold L5/L10/L20 performance where appropriate Larger historical samples Opponent/matchup Home/away and surface/context splits Expected playing time or role Starting lineups/starters Injuries Recent form Market movement Consensus sportsbook pricing No-vig market probabilities Alternate-line distributions Correlated markets Model probability vs sportsbook break-even probability Expected value Confidence/calibration Closing-line value Performance of previously rejected bets as well as placed bets The system needs to preserve the underlying data so that the model can be backtested and improved, rather than functioning as a black-box picks generator. Betting/Results Database Every evaluated market should be capable of storing information such as: Date/time Sport/league/event Team/player Market Exact threshold Sportsbook Odds when evaluated Closing odds where available Implied probability No-vig probability Model probability Expected value Model classification Whether the bet was actually placed Stake Final result Exact final player/team statistic Win/loss/void Margin relative to the betting threshold This historical database is a major part of the project. Dashboard I want a clean dashboard showing things such as: Qualified Plays | Watch/Research | Placed Bets | Passed/Tracked Plays | Future Events It should support filtering by: Sport, league, date, sportsbook, market, model probability, edge/EV, status and start time. The interface should work well on a phone. Automation Eventually the system should automatically: Odds/data ingestion → market normalization → statistical analysis → model scoring → candidate generation → dashboard → pregame monitoring → final-result retrieval → grading → model-performance database The architecture should allow scheduled scans and alerts when: A new qualifying opportunity appears Odds materially change A market reaches a target price A lineup/injury change affects an existing candidate Technology I am open to the developer recommending the stack. Experience with some combination of the following is preferred: Python, FastAPI/Django, PostgreSQL, React/[login to view URL], sports APIs, sportsbook/odds APIs, statistical modeling, scheduled/background jobs, cloud deployment and API integrations. Python experience is particularly important because the analytics/modeling layer will likely be Python-based. Important I do not want someone who will simply build a nice-looking frontend around a basic odds API. The difficult part of this project is: Obtaining and normalizing reliable sports/odds data. Supporting many different market types. Building a maintainable statistical/modeling engine. Recording historical data correctly. Automating result/stat retrieval. Backtesting and validating the model. Making it easy to add new models and rules later. Data integrity is more important to me than flashy UI. Ideal Freelancer Please apply if you have experience with at least several of the following: Sports betting analytics Sports data APIs Odds APIs Python statistical modeling PostgreSQL/database design React/[login to view URL] Automated data pipelines Probability/EV calculations Backtesting systems Cloud deployment Background/scheduled jobs Previous sports analytics or betting-platform work is a major plus. When Applying, Please Answer These Questions Have you built a sports betting, sports analytics, trading, or odds-comparison system before? Please provide examples. Which sports/odds APIs have you personally integrated? How would you obtain FanDuel markets, including alternate player/team lines, reliably? How would you normalize the same market when different sportsbooks use different naming conventions? How would you design the database so historical odds are retained instead of overwritten? How would you obtain and automatically grade final player/team statistics? What would you use for the modeling layer? How would you calculate fair/no-vig probabilities from sportsbook prices? How would you handle missing, stale, or conflicting sports data? How would you backtest the model without introducing look-ahead bias? What technology stack would you recommend and why? Would you build this using milestones so I can test each stage before proceeding? Please estimate the time and cost for an initial working version. Are you personally doing the development, or will the project be subcontracted? Screening instruction Start your proposal with the words MARKET ENGINE. Applications that do not begin with those words will not be considered.

MARKET ENGINE I build robust data-driven applications and backend systems that match your technical requirements. For your private sports betting research platform, my approach focuses heavily on data integrity, reliable ingestion pipelines, and a structured relational database in PostgreSQL to preserve historical odds and evaluated plays without overwriting records. To handle diverse sportsbook naming conventions, I implement normalization layers mapping raw market strings to standardized internal IDs. Python with FastAPI serves as the backend engine for processing statistical models, calculating no-vig probabilities, and running background evaluation jobs. React handles the desktop and mobile-responsive dashboard. Development will be structured in clear milestones, starting with data ingestion pipelines and database schema design, moving to the modeling and evaluation engine, and finishing with the dashboard interface and automation workflows. Let us discuss the technical scope and milestones to get started.

Your platform will fail if the data pipeline cannot handle concurrent API calls across 10+ sports without hitting rate limits or creating stale odds. Most betting models break because they evaluate markets using outdated lines that moved 30 seconds ago. Quick questions - are you planning to use WebSocket feeds for real-time odds updates, or will polling suffice? And what is your acceptable latency threshold between FanDuel line movement and model re-evaluation? Here is the architectural approach: - PYTHON/FASTAPI: Build async API layer with Redis caching to handle 500+ concurrent market evaluations without blocking database writes. - POSTGRESQL: Design normalized schema with partitioned tables by sport/date to support 10M+ historical bet records while maintaining sub-200ms query performance for backtesting. - API INTEGRATION: Implement rate-limited connectors for Odds API, FanDuel, and stats providers with fallback logic to prevent data gaps during API downtime. I've built similar real-time analytics platforms for 2 fintech clients processing 100K+ events per second. Let's schedule a 20-minute technical call to map your exact decision rules to database triggers before we start the build.

MARKET ENGINE The foundation here should be an append-only market database and canonical market model, not a frontend wrapped around an odds API. Every FanDuel/comparison-book quote should retain its exact line, price, timestamp and source so closing-line analysis, backtests and rejected-play evaluation remain reproducible. I recommend Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis/background jobs and Next.js. Provider-specific event/player/market names would map to stable internal IDs, while sport-specific model modules calculate probabilities, no-vig benchmarks and EV. Backtests would use timestamp-correct as-of data to prevent look-ahead leakage. For FanDuel I would use an approved odds provider with verified alternate-line coverage rather than rely on fragile scraping. Automated FanDuel wager placement would remain separate unless an authorized execution interface is available. My $1,500 bid covers an 18-day V1 for one initial sport: live odds ingestion, normalization, historical storage, selected alternate markets, model/rules framework, grading, backtesting and responsive Qualified/Watch/Placed/Passed dashboard. I personally handle the development and can start immediately after award.

MARKET ENGINE Hello, your emphasis on data integrity, historical retention, normalization, and backtesting is well understood. I would approach this as a staged analytics platform: a Python-based ingestion and modeling layer, PostgreSQL event-sourced odds history, normalized market schemas, scheduled jobs, result grading, and a responsive dashboard. The design would preserve every price snapshot rather than overwrite records, while keeping sport-specific rules modular for future expansion. I would also recommend starting with one or two sports and a complete vertical slice, from FanDuel and comparison-market ingestion through qualification, grading, and backtesting, before expanding coverage. This will validate API reliability, alternate-market mapping, and look-ahead-safe model evaluation early. I can work personally and structure delivery into testable milestones. Regards Muhammad

MARKET ENGINE. I would store every FanDuel alternate ladder as immutable timestamped quotes, not current-price rows, so exact thresholds, line movement, closing prices and grading remain backtestable. In 14 days, you receive a milestone-based FastAPI/PostgreSQL foundation with normalized NFL/MLB props, scheduled ingestion, candidate dashboard and grading workflow. I personally develop the work. I have integrated Twelve Data; I would use an authorized odds source or permitted FanDuel feed, preserve raw payloads, and map books through canonical event/player/market/period/threshold keys. Python handles calibrated probabilities, no-vig normalization, EV and replay-based backtests with only pre-event snapshots. Official/licensed stats feeds grade results; stale or conflicting records are flagged rather than overwritten. I fixed a live trading platform’s frozen price charts by adding cached ingestion, rate budgeting and last-good-price fallbacks. Should milestone one prioritize NFL/MLB player props and FanDuel ladders? Muhammad Saad

Hello, Main risk is data drift: sportsbook naming, alternate lines, and odds snapshots change frequently and silently, causing bad joins and incorrect implied probabilities. I would lock data shape with a flexible canonical market model and automated reconciliation so analytics operate on consistent market entities even when sources change. I have built end-to-end data platforms that ingest real-time odds, store time-series snapshots, and backtest rules for automated signals. I will map each sportsbook feed into a canonical market table, persist every odds snapshot with timestamps, and calculate implied probabilities as materialized views for fast reads. For matchups and player references I will use multiple reconciliation keys: normalized text, external IDs when available, and probabilistic fuzzy matching with manual override capability. First step: deploy ingestion workers that collect sportsbooks and sports stats into staging tables with provenance, then run deterministic normalization and enrichment before writing to production schema. - Do you already have preferred sportsbook feeds or should I start by wiring the most common providers? - Do you need a hosted dashboard (cloud) or do you prefer a deployable repo I deliver for your infra?

==== Hi - Truong here ==== "SPORTS BETTING ANALYTICS PLATFORM" - you need reliable data, models, and history instead of a simple picks app. I would build this around a normalized market database first, because odds, player props, and results from different sources must stay comparable over time. I can structure the Python analytics layer with scheduled jobs, probability calculations, and backtesting support. I would also keep every odds snapshot instead of updating records, so model performance and closing-line value can be measured correctly. How are you currently storing your betting methodology and decision rules, and do you want the first milestone focused on data ingestion or the analytics engine? Looking forward to work with you.

MARKET ENGINE :)Hello, I'm Ricardo from Buenos Aires ----->>>>> What you have isn't an odds-dashboard problem, it's a market-data problem: historical prices, alternate lines, results and model inputs must remain normalized and reproducible for backtesting. I would build the Python/FastAPI + PostgreSQL core around immutable odds snapshots, normalized market schemas and scheduled ingestion, then add probability/EV calculations, model rules, result grading and a responsive dashboard. Missing or conflicting data would be tracked rather than silently overwritten. I'm not the right fit if the platform is treated as an odds API wrapper instead of a historical analytics engine. One question: which sports/odds API do you currently have access to? I can first design the market and historical-data schema. If you want, I can share some examples of my previous projects here on Freelancer.com, so you can evaluate my skills and experience.
