Arbitrage vs value betting with a sharp API

Answer: arbitrage compares two books’ prices on the same market. Value compares a soft price to a sharp no-vig reference. PinnFeed supplies the sharp Pinnacle reference (fair/fairProb) — not a multi-book arb feed. For arb you need another source for soft books.

When PinnFeed fits#

• +EV / value screens vs Pinnacle fair
• CLV tracking
• Steam on the sharp line

Multi-book push: see dated compare (odds-api.io and others).
