• type=MA, "MARKET", here it is ID=1780 NA="Total Corners"

• type=CO, CN=3 means 3 columns

• type=PA, "PARTICIPANT".

  • first PA, NA=Over, HA=8, OD=6/4. it means Over 8 Corners and the odd is 6/4 = 1 + 6/4 = 2.5

  • second PA, NA=Exactly, OD=15/4. it means Exactly 8 and the odd is 15/4 = 1 + 15/4 = 4.75

  • last pA, NA=Under, OD=11/10. it means Under 8 Corners and the odd is 11/10 = 1 + 11/10 = 2.11

• SU here means "SUSPENDED". when it is 1, you can NOT bet on it.

Soccer minutes

It can be calculated with TT, TU, TM and TS from /bet365/event.

• TU - kicking off time of that period with format "YearMonthDayHourMinSecs" in England/London timezone.

• TT - playing or on break

• TM - passed minutes

• TS - passed seconds

So the rule is somehow:

if (TT) {  # when playing
    passed_seconds = NOW() (Epoch seconds) - TU (Convert that into Epoch seconds) + TM * 60 + TS;
} else {
    passed_seconds = TM * 60 + TS;
}

Note you need get the passed seconds between NOW() and TU. for example, if NOW() is 2019-02-14 03:15:30 and TU is 20190214021420, the seconds are 1 hour 1 min 10 secs. you can't do 20190214031530 - 20190214021420 directly.

Note it applieds to Rugby Union as well
