How this is measured

Head-to-head prices only, on two-way games (no draw) starting in the next one to two weeks, read from each bookmaker's live prices.
For each game a bookmaker prices, its margin is 1 ÷ home price + 1 ÷ away price − 1. The table averages that over every game it prices.
Bookmakers pricing fewer than 10 games are left out of the ranking; a league names its lowest-margin bookmaker only from 3 games.
Only bookmakers licensed for Australians are measured. Offshore sharp books and the Betfair exchange are not.
Bookmakers price different sports, so read the games-priced column too: a book that prices one league is measured on that league. Margins run lower in some leagues than others, so the average is pooled across the leagues each bookmaker prices; the by-league list compares like with like.

Every game's full price table is on the odds comparison pages, and the margin calculator works out the margin on any market you enter.

Only bookmakers licensed for Australians are shown; a bookmaker that shares another's prices is listed only where we read its own prices. 18+. Gambling Help Online 1800 858 858.
