The most complete book in the business

Desk index

5 dimensions weighted / model rev 04

The one-line verdict

Enormous market depth, streaming attached to a huge slice of the calendar and an in-play engine nobody has matched. The price is not always the best, but the coverage is.

What the desk tested

We sat through a full weekend of in-play betting across four sports and logged suspension times. The engine held up under load with no dropped bets.

02

Coverage versus price

You will find markets here that simply do not exist elsewhere, down to obscure second-tier fixtures. What you pay for that breadth is a slightly heavier margin on the headline lines.

03

The limiting question

Sustained winning attracts attention faster than at the sharper books in this index. Nothing improper, but plan for it if you are betting seriously.
