• type=MG, "MARKET GROUP", here it is ID=1777 NA="Fulltime Result"
• type=MA, CN=3 means 3 columns
• type=PA, "PARTICIPANT".
  • first PA, NA=Home Team, OD=2/1. it means Home wins and the odd is 2/1 = 1 + 2/1 = 3
  • second PA, NA=Draw, OD=11/5. it means Draw and the odd is 11/5 = 1 + 11/5 = 3.2
  • last pA, NA=Away Team, OD=13/10. it means Away wins and the odd is 13/10 = 1 + 13/10 = 2.3
• SU here means "SUSPENDED". when it is 1, you can NOT bet on it.

Soccer minutes

It can be calculated with TT, TU, TM and TS from /bet365/event.

• TU - kicking off time of that period with format "YearMonthDayHourMinSecs" in England/London timezone.
• TT - playing or on break
• TM - passed minutes
• TS - passed seconds

So the rule is somehow:

if (TT) {  # when playing
    passed_seconds = NOW() (Epoch seconds) - TU (Convert that into Epoch seconds) + TM * 60 + TS;
} else {
    passed_seconds = TM * 60 + TS;
}

Note you need get the passed seconds between NOW() and TU. for example, if NOW() is 2019-02-14 03:15:30 and TU is 20190214021420, the seconds are 1 hour 1 min 10 secs. you can't do 20190214031530 - 20190214021420 directly.

Note it applieds to Rugby Union as well
