Odds - Average

We calculated the margin for SportsBet by analyzing the odds they offer. We further ranked them in one of the following three categories:

From 1% to 5%: Low

From 5.01% to 7%: Normal

From 7.01% to 10%: High

Soccer

We got our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the over / under for different soccer leagues. Getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.

SportsBet has an overall average margin of 6.9% for soccer and falls in the normal margins category. In the first section with Spanish La Liga and Seria A, the margin is at 6.6%. With Premier League and Championship, in the second section, the margin is at 6.24%. Finally, taking the Netherlands Eredivisie, Polish Ekstraklasa and Austrian Bundesliga into account, the margin is at 7.87%.

About the bookmaker

Sportsbet is definitely the most popular Australian bookmaker, mostly due to their vast experience and their sports betting product. Sportsbet was established in 1993 and the company was purchased by Matthew Tripp for just $250,000 back in 2005. Sportsbet has grown a lot in popularity since then and in 2009, Irish bookmaker Paddy Power agreed upon a 51% acquisition package for $200 million. However, Sportsbet continues to operate as its own entity, despite an additional 39% share was purchased for $132 million by Paddy in 2011. Paddy Power merged with Betfair back in 2018, which means that Sportsbet Australia is owned by Paddy Power Betfair. Sportsbet is licensed in the Northern Territory by the Northern Territory Racing Commission.

Sportsbet offers to its customers some of the best betting odds in Australia, delivering value for bettors across a wide selection of sports and horse racing. If you live in Australia, then you will see that Sportsbet is often in the media, via TV stations or in the newspapers for their humorous betting promotions.

The Sportsbet website is very easy to navigate and uses a three-column layout, with sports listed on the left-hand side, betting markets and odds in the centre and the betting slip on the right.

If you’re looking to enjoy Sportsbet while on the go, then you should try their mobile betting app which is available for both iOS and Android users. The mobile app runs smoothly and allows you to quickly navigate between all the important sections of the desktop version of Sportsbet.
