Free multi and SGM check
Compare the bookmaker's SGM price with its legs multiplied, and you see how much the combination has been trimmed. For a multi across different games, add a fair price for each leg and the calculator gives the multi's expected value.

The live version
SGM Comparison and EV Multis do the pricing for you: one prices the same SGM at every bookmaker with a working SGM pricer, the other builds multis from +EV singles across 75+ bookmakers.
What it assumes. Legs in different games are independent, which is why their fair prices multiply. Legs in the same game are not: a team winning and its players scoring move together, so an SGM priced below its legs can be partly fair. The check shows how far below; it cannot say how much of that is correlation and how much is margin, because that needs a price for the same SGM at other bookmakers. A fair price is yours to supply, usually a sharp bookmaker's price with its margin removed, and the EV is only as good as it.
A multi is good value when its price is longer than its fair price, the price with the bookmakers' margin taken out. For legs in different games the fair price is each leg's fair price multiplied. Legs that are each +EV compound: three legs each 3% over fair make a +9.27% multi. Legs at an ordinary bookmaker margin compound the other way.
EV % = the multi's price / its fair price - 1, which is the same as the price x the fair probability - 1. The fair probability of independent legs is each leg's 1 / fair price multiplied together. Enter a fair price for every leg in the calculator above to see it.
Enter the bookmaker's SGM price and each leg's single price at the same bookmaker. The calculator compares the SGM with its legs multiplied: an SGM at 4.20 on legs of 1.90 and 2.50 (4.75 multiplied) pays 11.6% less. Legs that tend to happen together can justify paying less; the rest is the bookmaker's margin on the combination.
EV Multis builds multis across different games, where the legs are independent and their fair prices multiply. Same game legs are not independent, so it does not combine them. To price one SGM at every bookmaker with a working SGM pricer, use SGM Comparison in the app.
The free check takes 2 to 10 legs. EV Multis in the app builds multis of 2 to 5 legs. More legs pay more when they land and land less often, and each leg's margin compounds into the multi.
The free check works with any bookmaker: you enter the prices. In the app, EV Multis covers the major Australian bookmakers (Sportsbet, TAB, Ladbrokes, PointsBet, bet365 and others) plus international books, and every leg of one multi comes from the same bookmaker so the bet can be placed.
When you save a multi to the betslip and record it, all legs are grouped together in your bet tracker. Analytics show multi-specific stats including win rate, ROI and CLV for your multis, separate from singles.
Yes. A multi's longer price suits a stake-not-returned bonus, because a long-price win keeps more of the bonus once it is covered. Covering a multi is harder than covering a single, so the bonus bet converter is the tool for the cover stake on a two-way market.
Positive EV shows individual +EV bets (singles). EV Multis combines those +EV singles from different games into multis. Positive EV finds the legs; EV Multis puts them together.
