How we make money: some bookmakers pay us when you open an account through our links, as a one-off fee, a share of the revenue from your account, or both. Pages with these links are marked Ad. Payments never change the odds we show, the order bookmakers appear in or our ratings.

Why not both? Plenty of bettors keep more than one account and take the better price each time. On these 91 markets that would have lifted the average payout to 94.4%, against 93.5% with Betfred alone.

The rounds use the same five scores as our ratings. The prices round uses only the 91 markets both priced in full over the last 30 days, across 91 matches, so it is like for like. Exchange prices are counted after the exchange's own commission. Your fit puts half the weight on what you said matters most. How we rate

How a duel is scored
Five rounds
One for each area in our ratings: prices, trust and safety, markets, payments, and app and tools. The higher score takes the round. If we could not score one bookmaker, nobody is handed it.
Prices, like for like
Only markets both bookmakers priced in full over the last 30 days count, so neither gains from pricing easier matches. We need 20 shared markets before we call it this way.
The verdict
The five scores are weighted as in our ratings. Tell us what matters most and half the weight moves there. Rounds won only settle it when the weighted scores are level.
What it is not
Not advice, and not a promise of better results. A better price changes what a winning bet pays, not how often you win. What a bookmaker pays us plays no part.
