# Odds Text widget: show live inline odds in articles

> Display live betting odds inline within article text using the Odds Text widget — no card, no layout, just the current number in your sentence.

The Odds Text widget lets you display live betting odds inline within article text. Instead of a full odds card, you get a small formatted number that updates automatically. This is useful for placing the current line next to a team name or bet mention in a sentence — without interrupting the reading flow.

## Use case

Inline odds are ideal for articles that reference a specific bet in prose. For example: "The Lakers enter tonight's game as 4.5-point favorites" — where the spread value comes from a live Odds Text widget rather than being hard-coded. The number stays current without any editorial updates.

## Embed code

Place the SDK script tag once on the page, then add a `<span>` with `data-tallysight-widget-type="odds-text"` inline in your article content:

```html theme={null}
<script
  data-tallysight-defaults-widget-config-workspace="your-workspace"
  type="module"
  src="https://storage.googleapis.com/tallysight-widgets/dist/tallysight.min.js"
></script>

<p>
  The Lakers open as
  <span
    data-tallysight-widget-type="odds-text"
    data-tallysight-widget-id="your-widget-id"
    data-tallysight-widget-config-odds-by="best-odds"
  ></span>
  favorites against the Celtics tonight.
</p>
```

## Controlling the odds source

The `config-odds-by` attribute controls which sportsbook's odds the widget displays. Set it to `best-odds` to show the best available line across all sportsbooks in your workspace, or pass a specific sportsbook slug to pin the widget to a single book:

```html theme={null}
<span
  data-tallysight-widget-type="odds-text"
  data-tallysight-widget-id="your-widget-id"
  data-tallysight-widget-config-odds-by="draftkings"
></span>
```

## How it renders

The widget renders as an inline element containing the formatted odds value — for example, `-4.5` or `+110`. It fits naturally into a sentence alongside surrounding text. The odds format follows the same geolocation-based auto-detection used by other Tallysight widgets: American odds for US visitors, decimal for European visitors, and so on. You can override this with `data-tallysight-widget-config-format` if you need a fixed format.
