# GET Value Bets

Besides the [**Prediction API**](https://docs.sportmonks.com/football/endpoint-overview/prediction-api), we also have the **Value Bet API**. While the Prediction API evaluates the probabilities of game events, the Value Bet API is processing thousands of historical odds data and market trends to find Value opportunities, compared to bookmakers' odds.

Once the opening odds are available, the value detection algorithm is running every 10 minutes up to the beginning of the match. Each value detected by the model is coming with a set of features described below.

Please note that our algorithm detects Value Bets based on all available odds in combination with the `fair_odd`calculated by the **Value Bet algorithm**. Therefore, **not every match** has a Value Bet available.

It is possible to use the **Value Bet API** endpoint as described on this page. It will give you all Value Bets detected. It is also possible to use the [**Value Bet By Fixture Id**](https://docs.sportmonks.com/football/endpoint-overview/prediction-api/get-value-bet-by-fixture-id).

If you want to combine your Value Bets requests with your requests on the **Fixture** endpoint or **Livescore** endpoint, you can add the relationship include`&include=valuebet.`See the Relationship Fixture Value Bet for more info.
