Antics URL Format

The URL is the API

Antics is a static site with no backend. A documented, stable query format gives sheets, Discord bots, and anyone's scripts everything an endpoint would, at zero hosting cost. This is that documentation — not a README, a real page, because it's a public contract from the day it ships.

Antics parameters

ParamMeaning
legLeg Odds notation string. Required.
finalFinal Odds notation string. Optional.
corrCorrelation notation string. Optional.
boostBoost notation string. Optional.
methodmultiplicative | additive | power | shin | worstCase | weighted. Always present — see the stability rules below.
wcComma-separated devig methods feeding the worst case, e.g. multiplicative,shin. Only meaningful when method=worstCase.
weightsComma-separated method:weight pairs, e.g. multiplicative:1,shin:2. Only meaningful when method=weighted.

antics.bet/devig?leg=%2B900%2F-3000&final=-210%2C-400&method=multiplicative

Self-documenting names, never an integer enum — method=shin means the same thing forever, even if a method is ever added or reordered. That's a deliberate departure from CNM's own format, which uses an opaque DevigMethod=3.

What travels, and what stays local

The rule: anything that changes the fair odds or the EV percentage belongs in the URL. Anything that changes your stake stays local.

Stability rules

Importing a CNM link

Keep everything after the ? in a CNM link and swap the address in front of it for antics.bet/devig. His Devigger's own "Copy Devig's URL" links (…/sportsbook_devigger.aspx?autofill=1&LegOdds=…) and his API's parameter names both work; autofill is simply ignored. Antics reads his parameter names directly:

CNM paramAntics equivalent
LegOdds, FinalOddsleg, final
Correlation_Bool + Correlation_Textcorr (only when the bool is 1)
Boost_Bool + Boost_Text + Boost_Typeboost (only when the bool is 1); the boost-type selector is a separate UI setting
DevigMethod (0–6)method — 0 multiplicative, 1 additive, 2 power, 3 shin, 4 worst case, 5 weighted average, 6 show-all (imported as multiplicative, since Antics has no single "show all" mode)
WorstCase_Multiplicative and its three siblingswc
WeightedAverage_Multiplicative and its three siblingsweights

Two quirks his format carries that Antics absorbs on import: % is encoded as _PCT_ rather than %25 (Discord and Safari mangle the standard encoding in shared links) — both forms are accepted. Multiline=1 and Temp Settings overrides are concepts Antics doesn't have; they're tolerated on import and dropped silently rather than treated as errors.

Exporting a CNM link

The "Copy as CNM link" button, next to the Discord/Reddit and Mini copy buttons, does the reverse. It builds the same kind of link his own "Copy Devig's URL" button does: …/sportsbook_devigger.aspx?autofill=1&LegOdds=…, re-encoding % as _PCT_. It opens pre-filled with the legs, final odds, correlation and boost. It leaves out the devig method, worst-case and weight settings, because his page doesn't read them from a link (only his API does); his tool uses whatever method you have selected there. Two-way compatibility means trying Antics costs nothing and commits to nothing — your links keep working everywhere.

Hedge calculator

The same rules apply at antics.bet/hedge. Defaults are left out, money is dollars with up to two places, and anything unrecognized is ignored. Bankroll, Kelly, unit size, and the units toggle stay local, so a shared link sizes Kelly to whoever opens it.

ParamMeaning
scenarioparlay | multi | middle | books. Leave it out for one bet against one hedge.
oddsYour price. On a parlay, the ticket's stated price; ticket is read as a synonym.
stake or payoutWhat you bet, or what the ticket pays back.
free, boost, boosted, commYour bet is free (1), its profit boost in percent, its boosted price, and exchange commission on its winnings in percent.
hedge, hcommThe hedge price, and commission on its winnings.
hkind, token, hboosthkind=free makes the hedge a free bet, token is its size, and hboost is a profit boost on the hedge in percent.
target, custombreakeven or custom, and the custom hedge amount. Equal profit is the default.
roundRound the hedge to this step.
opp, fair, method, wc, weightsYour side's price in the hedge market, or your own fair odds, which win. The method and its settings work as they do for the Devigger.
cashoutThe book's cash out offer.
profitThe profit to lock in, for finding the price it takes. Can be negative.
legsParlay legs, comma-separated, each its price, the other side's, and won if settled: +150:won,-110:-105.
opps, split, completeOpponents as price:book:commission:free:stake, trailing blanks dropped: +300:FD::free:50.00,+500. split=custom uses each one's stake, and complete=1 says they cover every result.
line, hline, midA middle's lines, whole or half, as +7.5 and -3.5, and the chance of landing between them in percent.
booksBooks to split across, as price:book:limit:commission: +110:DK:50.00:2,+100:FD.
tie, tied, places, hdhpush | dnb | threeway | deadheat; how many tied and for how many places; hdh=1 if the hedge dead-heats too.

antics.bet/hedge?odds=%2B150&stake=100.00&hedge=-110

A book name in opps or books has its :, ,, %, and spaces percent-encoded.

A Devigger link opens here prefilled: swap devig for hedge in the address. The first side of leg is your bet and the second the hedge, several legs become a parlay, more than two sides become opponents, and final is the price you got. CNM Devigger links work the same way. A correlation isn't used, and the page says so. A link it can't fully price, such as a parlay leg with three sides or an unreadable leg, fills nothing in and says why. A link with any of the hedge's own odds, hedge, scenario, legs, opps, books, or ticket is read as a hedge link only.

For CNM's hedge calculator, Odds1 or OriginalOdds, Odds2 or HedgeOdds, and Stake, Stake1, or Wager are read in any case, and the "Copy as CNM link (unverified)" button writes them, always as a stake. It's offered only for a plain bet, because free bets, boosts, and commission wouldn't arrive. These names are unverified: no real link has been checked against them.
