Really amazing work. Thanks for doing it. I'm sure bookies will also keep an eye on this, and this will probably generate a healthy competition among them, "forcing" them to lower their margins to be competitive, which will benefit all of us.
Thanks! So far, mBit lowered their margins for some sports (not sure if it's because of this) and BetKing + Betcoin have lowered their margins as a direct result of this thread.
Also, I do notice sometimes, that inside each League, popular games seem to get "different treatment/margin", and although the average margin for the entire League (let's say La Liga) could be better on a certain bookie, a popular game (let's say Barcelona vs Real Madrid) would have a better margin on another one.
This is just my impression, and I didn't do any particular work to back this up, it's just based on my impression of course, but I'm curious to know if there is any way to check this by monitoring these type of important games (top level teams, that usually generate a bigger volume of bets among users) individually?
I've looked at some of the more "interesting" games and it doesn't seem to happen for the low margin bookmakers. It might happen for more important events such as finals, but all Soccer matches are quite big. This is more evident in sports like Tennis, where Finals has lower margins than Round of 16 or whatever.
Any plans on adding E-Sports comparison since they are quite popular these days?
Soon™. There's a lot of E-Sports competitions though, so I'm not sure what would be a good way to offer E-Sports comparisons. Have any recommendations?
Edit: An overview like this but on sportsbooks promotions, or loyalty programs would also be great, but I guess that would be to much work to ask.
Promotions is something I've been meaning to do. It will come Soon™.
