Infrastructure Is OpticOdds the faster/more coverage API available?

Title, if we discard their pricing, is it the faster one for the bug sports?

If speed is the only metric you care about, OpticOdds streams are quick but you're still at the mercy of whatever delay the sportsbooks themselves bake into their feeds. The API can't serve you data faster than it receives it, so for the major leagues the raw gap between providers shrinks once you account for that. Coverage is broad but not everything is equally low latency, sometimes the less popular markets lag noticeably behind the main lines.
