Why are the Handicap odds inverted on the away side?

[kgravenreuth]

For handicap markets, there is special handling which should be noted. This is also mentioned in our Cloudbet API Documentation, while we are adding this explanation here along with an example screenshot for added clarity.

For handicap markets a line is identified by the same params. Selections can be grouped by marketKey and params alone. Home and away outcomes then have the same marketURL for the same handicap lines.

The handicap value is dictated by the home team value and inverted on the away side.

Example (taken from #24 )

The API returns (part of the API response):

Outcome: "away",
Params: "handicap=0.5",
Price: 3.3

This means that the corresponding asian handicap odds displayed on our frontend is the one highlighted below (as the handicap value is dictated by the home team value and inverted on the away side):
