adding-new-sport

To add a new sport to the betting system, implement a class that inherits BaseEloRating, implement predict and update methods, and wire game data pipelines into the DAG configuration. This ensures consistent Elo rating behavior and end-to-end data integration.

Configuring Airflow DAGs for sports betting requires adding an entry to SPORTS_CONFIG in the workflow file and implementing the fetch sport markets function. You must also develop a downloader module to fetch and normalize game data into the unified table.

Yes, adding a new sport requires inheriting from the BaseEloRating class. You must implement all abstract methods like expected_score and get_all_ratings, call super().__init__, and register the new Elo class in the plugin exports to ensure proper integration.

To integrate Kalshi market data for a new sport, implement the fetch sport markets function within the Kalshi markets plugin. This wires the new sport into the betting system, allowing end-to-end operation from game data downloading to market integration.

The best way to normalize game data is creating a dedicated downloader module that fetches and loads records into the unified_games table. This standardizes data across sports, ensuring the Elo rating calculations and DAG pipelines process consistent inputs.

Updating SPORTS_CONFIG is required to wire the new sport into the multi-sport betting workflow. Without this DAG configuration step, the game data pipeline and Kalshi market integration will not execute end-to-end, preventing the sport from operating.
