Time to start
Events far from start are refreshed more lightly. The cadence increases in the final hour and is highest around start time.
Refresh model
Odd refresh frequency
Odds update more often as an event gets closer to start time. League priority also changes the target cadence, so major leagues are checked more aggressively than lower-volume coverage.
League priority
Priority bands let major leagues receive tighter update targets while lower-volume leagues use a steadier background cadence.
Real-world variance
Actual timing can vary with event availability, upstream health, source response time, and temporary system load.
