When you register for free, you can navigate to the User Settings section located in the upper left column. There, you can personalize your bookmaker list, unselecting those that you do not want to use.
Odds are numbers, which are used to calculate the winning ratio for any given stake. In general, the rule is - the higher the odds, the lower the probability of winning.
Bookmaker’s odds are constantly updated on our database and are updated immediately on the website. When a page is used, odds are refreshed every 60 seconds, without the need to reload.
Yes, you can always change the format in which you view the odds. In addition to decimal (European) odds, you can switch formats to fractional (UK) and American odds. If you are registered, you can choose from the list of different formats at any time by clicking the link in your profile settings. You can then use those settings across devices. If you do not have an OddsExplorer account yet, the link is available in the left column, above the indicated time zone.
The payout is the percentage returned to the bettors in total and is the opposite value of the bookmaker’s margin. For example, if you were to bet €100 on outcomes with a 92% payout, you would get back €92 from each bet on average. The bookmaker's profit would be the remaining €7. On larger payouts, bookmakers operate with lower margins and higher odds. On average it is always better to use bookmakers with a high payout to place your bets.
While every effort is made to ensure odds accuracy, it is your responsibility to check site odds before placing a bet.
Different bookmakers have different betting rules. Please check site rules before placing a bet.
Before placing a bet with an unknown bookmaker, we recommend you review the selected bookmaker safety & quality.
