How this was measured

Head-to-head prices on two-way games (no draw) starting in the following days, read from each bookmaker's live prices at the time above.
For each game a bookmaker priced, its margin is 1 ÷ home price + 1 ÷ away price − 1, averaged over every game it priced, pooled across leagues.
Bookmakers pricing fewer than 10 games are not ranked; 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.

Today's figures, refreshed every ten minutes, are on which bookmaker has the best odds.

Prices are information, not advice, and change constantly: check the price with the bookmaker before you bet. BetBank is not a bookmaker and takes no bets. 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.
