@tolbard

I would have expected NRL winners to be more like

{
  "type": "FOOTY",
  "sportType": "NRL",
  "betType": "PICK_THE_WINNERS",
  "stake": "$2.00",
  "flexi": true,
  "matchResults": [
    ['H'],
    ['H','A'],
    ['A']
  ]
}

looks like most things are an array of arrays apart from the FootyTabWin? and pick the scores

@nguyenchr

I can change it to H and A.

@nguyenchr @vickvu then the real question should I keep the structure of the selection all different or use a Generic structure like

{
  "matchLegs": [
     "period": [
       "selections": [1,4,"ALL", "MYSTERY","H","A"]
     ]
  ]
}

@tolbard lets explore a few different options in this gist

see what it looks like to be generic? and add to this gist, but dont remove the other examples, and then we can compare

A not generic method make it more difficult to do things like "bet.hasMystery"

@nguyenchr @vickvu I add the generic examples in the end of the gist

Generic version, but no periods ie

{
  "type": "FOOTY",
  "venueCode": "C",
  "betType": "PICK_THE_MARGINS",
  "stake": "$3.00",
  "flexi": false,
  "matchLegs": [
    ["ALL"],
    [0,1],
    [4,5]
  ]
},

Without periods would actually look like:

{
  "type": "FOOTY",
  "venueCode": "C",
  "betType": "PICK_THE_MARGINS",
  "stake": "$3.00",
  "flexi": false,
  "matchLegs": [
    [["ALL"]],
    [[0,1]],
    [[4,5]]
  ]
},

My understanding is that 'matchLegs' actually corresponds to a 'race' in the parimutuel racing analogy.
How about we just call this 'match'?
Then each 'period' is actually the 'leg' of that 'match' (corresponding to leg of a racing bet)?

{
  "type": "FOOTY",
  "venueCode": "F",
  "betType": "FOOTY_QUAD",
  "stake": "$0.50",
  "flexi": false,
  "matches": [
    {"legs": [
          {"selections": [1,2]}
        ]},
    {"legs": [
          {"selections": [7,8,9]}
        ]},

    {"legs": [
          {"selections": [16]}
        ]},
    {"legs": [
          {"selections": [3,4]}
        ]},
  ]
},

do we have to keep the name venueCode, may be we should rename venueCode to something more meaningful?

@vickvu I agree, have a look at my first comment, I called it sportType not sure whether that is better or not?

@nguyenchr @vickvu what do you think about betTypeGroup

@nguyenchr After I read again you first comment I got It. I can use sportType : "NRL" or "AFL"

instead of sportType why not use competiton as "NRL" and "AFL" are sport competition

{
  "type": "FOOTY",
  "competition": "NRL",
  "betType": "PICK_THE_MARGINS",
  "stake": "$3.00",
  "flexi": false,
  "matches": [
    ["ALL"],
    [0,1],
    [4,5]
  ]
},
