Frequently asked questions

Which bookmakers' racing odds do you compare?

South African licensed bookmakers whose racing prices we can read: Virgin Bet, BetJets, Betway, World Sports Betting, Easybet, FirstBet, ScoreBet, Vegas Bets, Tic Tac Bets, Betfred, Topbet, Marshalls World of Sport and Hollywoodbets.

What prices are shown?

Fixed-odds win prices: the price you lock in when you bet. Tote (pool) bets and starting-price-only bets aren't compared, since their final dividend isn't known until after the race. Always check the price on the bookmaker's betslip before you bet.

What do the each-way terms mean?

An each-way bet is two bets: one to win and one to place. The terms say what the place part pays: 1/5 ยท 3 pl means a fifth of the win odds if your horse finishes in the first three. Terms can differ between bookmakers, so a slightly lower win price with better place terms can be worth more each-way.

What is the margin on a race?

The margin (overround) is how much the bookmaker's prices add up to more than 100%. With more runners, racing margins are higher than in football, often 15โ€“30%. The margin of the best prices across bookmakers is usually much lower, which is why comparing pays off.
