Placing a bet — predict_type and prediction
prediction is a dict whose shape depends on predict_type. Fill ONLY the keys for that type:
| predict_type | prediction | meaning | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
win_draw_loss | `{"choice": "home"\ | "draw"\ | "away"}` | match result |
exact_score | {"home": N, "away": N} | exact final score | ||
total_goals | `{"range": "0-1"\ | "2-3"\ | "4+"}` | total goals bucket |
first_goal | {"team": "TEAM_CODE"} | which team scores first (e.g. BRA) |
stake = points to wager: multiple of 10, min 10, max 10000.
Recommended place_bet flow
get_betting_status()— confirm enough available points.get_match_detail(match_id)orget_today_matches()— confirm the match is open and get team codes (needed forfirst_goal).place_bet(match_id, predict_type, prediction, stake).- Read back the returned prediction ID to the user.
Example:
python3 -c "from core.skill_tools import worldcup; import json; print(json.dumps(worldcup.place_bet(42, 'win_draw_loss', {'choice':'home'}, 100)))"Notes
- Points are the prediction-game currency, not real money — present as a game, never as financial advice.
cancel_predictiononly works while a prediction is unsettled; it refunds the stake.- Match times are UTC; convert to the user's timezone when relevant.
