How to Use the NBA Odds Spreadsheet
The NBA live odds spreadsheet has just a few simple steps to get started:
- Get an API key to get access to the odds

NBA Odds That Automatically Update
The main benefit the spreadsheet brings is automatically updating odds. The spreadsheet is set to update in 15 minute intervals automatically. If you find that you need updated odds before that, you can always go to Data -> Refresh All to update the data.
What You Can Do with Live NBA Odds in a Spreadsheet
Having live NBA odds in a spreadsheet opens up many opportunities for analysis. While having the raw data gives you the opportunity to build whatever you’d like, below are a few ideas on how to use the data:
Compare Your Model to Live NBA Odds
If you build models in a spreadsheet, having live NBA odds is a big time saver.
Once your model has output your desired metrics (win probability, spread, total, etc.), you can match up those numbers to the current lines.
This will not only tell you how much of an edge you have (if at all), but will also show you where the best available odds are.
Build a Custom Odds Screen
Similar to odds screens you will find on the web, you can build your own version in a spreadsheet.
The advantage to having it in a spreadsheet is that it is fully customizable. You can add custom calculations, settings, etc. that fit your needs.
Alternatively you can check out the Sportsbook Scout Odds Comparison spreadsheet if you don’t want to build one yourself.
Supplement Live NBA Odds with More Data
Having odds in a spreadsheet allows you to pull in any other data source you’d like. You could add things like injury news, lineups, stats, recent tweets, etc. that could be beneficial information to join with your odds.
