New market types
over 5 years ago by Matchbook Documentation
Starting with Monday 8th of April 2019 Matchbook will gradually introduce two new market types.
The two new market types being introduced are first_goalscorer and other. Both market types are detailed in the following sections.
First goalscorer
First goalscorer will be a soccer multi runner market. Runner names will follow the format [First name] [Last Name]. Below is shown an example of the API response for a market with first_goalscorer as its market type (the list of runners is reduced on purpose).
