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:
1
bettingmarkets:
2
     - description:
3
         en: '{teams.away}'
4
     - description:
5
         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:
1
{module.member}
Copied!
All modules are listed in the substitutions variable in decode_variables::
1
substitutions = {
2
    "teams": Teams,
3
    "result": Result,
4
    "handicaps": Handicaps,
5
    "overunder": OverUnder,
6
}
Copied!
The modules themselves (capitalized first letter) are defined in the same file and can be as easy as:
1
class Result:
2
    """ Defines a few variables to be used in conjuctions with {result.X}
3
    """
4
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
5
        result = kwargs.get("result", [0, 0]) or [0, 0]
6
        self.hometeam = result[0]
7
        self.awayteam = result[1]
8
        self.total = sum([float(x) for x in result])
9
        # aliases
10
        self.home = self.hometeam
11
        self.away = self.awayteam
12

or as complex as:
1
class Teams:
2
    """ Defines a few variables to be used in conjuctions with {teams.X}
3
    """
4
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
5
        teams = kwargs.get("teams", ["", ""]) or ["", ""]
6
        self.home = " ".join([
7
            x.capitalize() for x in teams[0].split(" ")])
8
        self.away = " ".join([
9
            x.capitalize() for x in teams[1].split(" ")])
Copied!
