Expand here for a quick view of spread/total inputs (other 2 columns will be removed). Inputs here originate from aggregated market data. These are just inputs, Banach model derives all core markets from these inputs. We continue to listen to market data throughout the lifecycle of the fixture (prematch and inplay). If the market average differs from our inputs by a certain amount, these inputs will automatically changes. Manual inputs can be entered here if desired. Update line from dropdown, enter new prices and press Update (this generally should not be necessary with market updates on)

Player Markets Pricing
A quick explainer for how player pricing works
-
Snap %s affect all player pricing
-
TD Scorer price changes affect Yards & Attempts/Receptions markets
-
Player Yards price changes affect Attempts/Receptions markets

Player pricing is based on the expected number of snaps each player will be involved in. These expectations are set by the model based on historical player data
1. Fixture
Every offensive player from each team is listed here. ‘Active’ players have the fixture button checked. At least 1 player from each position from each team must be selected for player markets to price. We update our squads weekly based on Betradar’s data. Worth noting that we do not get injury information pre-match from the feed so these situations need to be handled manually.
2. Snap Model%
Player markets are priced based on the expected number of offensive snaps a player is involved in. The model will calculate this automatically but it can be adjusted by traders
3. Snap Trader%
Changing the Snap % of 1 player will affect the Snap %s of other players in the same position (e.g. if there are 2 active RBs at 50/50, changing 1 to 60% should change the other to 40%).
4. Model Redistribution
Ticking the model redistribution box means that the model will automatically add/take away %s to affected players when traders change a player (NOTE: only 1 change can be made at a time). Example below. Once the snap % of a player has been manually changed, it will remain static until manually changed again (i.e. redistribution will have no affect)
Unticking this box allows the traders to choose the players they want to redistribute the %s amongst, the model will then do so proportionally (Figs 1, 2 & 3 below, increasing Hardman’s %). To follow, we will have an option to not redistribute a change in snaps at all (in the meantime, to achieve this just select an inactive player from the dropdown below)
Individual player props prices can be manually adjusted without affecting other players, more on this later. However, changing the snap % is a more ‘complete’ way to adjust prices (e.g. if a players Receiving Yards is out, it may be that his Receptions is out also so changing the snap % should change both)

Some scenarios that might help:
(a) QB is ruled out of next game before we get an injury update
Simply untick the player from ‘fixture’ and move his Snap% to 0 while doing the opposite for the incoming player
(b) RB’s line too low for Rushing Yards
Increase his Snap% (this should decrease lines for other RBs)
(c) I want to increase one Running Back’s Snap % without affecting the other active Running Back.
Untick Model Redistribution and choose any inactive player.
Anytime TD Scorer
List of active relevant players for TD scoring. Prices can be changed which will affect all TD markets. If the trader is happy with a player’s snap % but still wants to change his Touchdown price, can do so by simply typing in the target price and pressing update. Pricing Feed button will move to ‘Off’ to indicate that a manual change has been made. Note that the price returned will not match exactly the input price due to simulation variance (differences will be negligible)
TD markets are enabled at fixture creation but activated an agreed time before kick-off (there will be a button in Dolly soon allowing the user to manually activate/suspend TD markets)
Props
By default we template the follower players for props
Rushing Yards - 1 QB, 2 RB
Carries - 1 QB, 2 RB
Receiving Yards - 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE
Receptions - 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE
Scrimmage Yards - 1 RB, 2 WR
Sometimes more than this will be templated e.g. if the line of 1 player dropped significantly enough for the next player in that position to have a higher line
Players can be suspended easily by unticking the box (and can be added back in)
Much like TD scorers, props lines/prices can be altered manually. Enter a line, price or both and press update
Props markets are enabled at fixture creation but activated an agreed time before kick-off (there will be a button in Dolly soon allowing the user to manually activate suspend props/markets)

Total/Spread prices nudged inplay rather than entering prices as in pre-match. As with props, keep it to a maximum of 5 nudges at a time
Snap %s, Anytime TD prices and props pricing/suspension can be amended in the same way as pre-match
