The English bookmaker Bet365 has been offering sports betting on the Internet since the early 2000s. In our view, the Sportsbook of the British is one of the best on the market.
Bet365 package scores top marks
The reason for the good result in our sports betting test lies in the overall package: the sportsbook, the odds and the service, do not have any big flaws.
The betting program is particularly extensive in our opinion. The same applies to the live betting area, which is becoming increasingly important.
Here Bet365 provides with a massive use of livestreams (country limitation to consider!)
A particularly important point in the choice of a betting provider is certainly the level of betting odds. Since every betting customer strives to gain the highest possible amount of money for his bet, this aspect is of great importance.
Bet365 also convinces in this respect and is therefore rated “outstanding” in the field of betting odds.
In our test of betting odds we relied in particular on the main betting markets. There, the analysed odds in almost all categories moved between 93 and 94 percent and can reach up to 98 percent in football at top events.
Odds of 98 percent means that this portion of the wagers will be distributed as profits back to the customers. The theoretical profit margin in this case is only about 2 percent.
The more important the event, the higher the odds.
The amount of betting odds is adjusted to the importance of each event. Therefore, especially in popular sports such as football, the highest odds can be expected. Especially when it comes to events that enjoy a lot of attention.
However, for Bet365, it seems that not only the meaning of the event is a criterion, but also the timing at which it takes place. On Monday, for example, we found odds of 93-94 percent on average for football matches in European leagues, but by Friday odds had risen to 96 percent.
This fact becomes even clearer at top matches in the Champions League, where top ratings of up to 98 percent were achieved. This is otherwise the case only in games of the English Premier League.
What sets Bet365 apart from some of its competitors is that the odds level remains relatively high, even with minor events. For example, we did not find odds below 93 percent in many national Cups.For other bookmakers, odds are lower for events that are less popular, but some are 90 percent or even lower.
High odds level also found in live bets
Generally, the level of betting odds at virtually all betting providers is a bit lower when it comes to live betting.
We have only partially determined this with Bet365. Also in the live betting center we came across a payout of up to 93 to 94 percent.
Even in events that attract rather moderate interest in this country, such as games for the Chinese FA Cup, we found odds of 91 to 92 percent in the live range of Bet365.
Great variety with attractive odds
Besides football, Bet365 also offers a generous program for other sports. Depending on the season, the offer includes a different number of sports.
In addition to football, ball sports such as basketball and tennis are also represented. In addition, the English bookie also includes typical sports such as rugby, cricket, snooker or darts.
But we also discovered sports like ice hockey, American football, handball or biathlon in the Bet365 betting program. Regarding the odds, we have sometimes made up to 93 percent.
Conclusion to the betting odds of Bet365
In our opinion, it is no coincidence that Bet365 is consistently at the top of various betting provider comparisons. This applies to almost all areas. Whether it is the size of the betting offer or the quality of live betting, Bet365 always scores top marks.
Bet365 applies odds of 93 to 94 percent for all bets in all categories very evenly, which is additionally increased in absolute top events.
This can lead to top ratings of 98 percent – sometimes even more – shortly before the start. As soon as the events go into the field of live betting, the odds fall, but remain in the range of about 93 percent, and thus higher than those of many competitors.
In the case of minor events, however, bet365 betting odds are also at a consistently high level.
