Demo Still being built, and getting better every day. The odds are real and ours. Still being built. The odds are real and ours. Why?Tell us what is wrong

The prices here are real and they are ours. We read every listed South African bookmaker roughly every four minutes and publish what we actually saw, with the time we saw it. Nothing on this site is estimated, modelled or bought in. We hold no data agreement with any bookmaker, so a price can be a few minutes old and the bookmaker's own price is the one that counts. How live is this?

So why call it a demo? Because we are a data company, and data gets better with time. Every day we run, the price record gets longer, the licence register gets more complete and the ranking rests on more evidence. Some pages are still being written and a few bookmakers are not fully covered yet.

We would rather be useful now than perfect later. What is here already answers the question most punters never get answered: who is actually paying most, right now, and who is actually licensed to take your bet. Waiting another six months to publish that would help nobody.

Where we are unsure, we say so. Where we have not checked something, we do not claim it. If you find something wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say we did.

Head to head

10bet vs World Sports Betting

World Sports Betting holds licence evidence from 2 provincial regulators against 1 for 10bet, which is the clearest difference between them on paper. 10bet publishes a welcome offer we verified; World Sports Betting does not, so there is no bonus to weigh on its side. On our own price record, World Sports Betting held the best or joint-best price 63% of the time against 4% for 10bet, measured across 558 997 comparable prices or more on each. We have not opened an account at either and we do not test withdrawals, so nothing here is a recommendation. Both review pages carry the licence number, the issuing board and the date we last checked, which is what you would want if something went wrong.

Measured, not claimed

Which one actually pays more

Across the prices we have recorded from both, World Sports Betting was best or tied on 62.8% of the outcomes it priced, against 4.0% for 10bet. That is measured over 558 997 and 1 037 485 comparable prices respectively, not sampled and not supplied by either bookmaker.

Being best is not the whole picture, because a book that is rarely best can still be close. When it was not top, World Sports Betting paid on average 3.7% below the best price on the board and 10bet 5.3%. Read the two numbers together rather than either alone: how often a book is best decides how often it saves you anything, and the shortfall decides what it costs you the rest of the time.

Both figures come from the same board, read on the same cycles, so they are directly comparable. They describe the outcomes we could compare, which is every market where enough bookmakers priced the same thing at the same time, and they say nothing about the bet you are about to place: check the live board for that.

Before you deposit

Use this as a shortlist, not a decision. Confirm the current licence wording, the offer terms, identity checks and withdrawal rules on the bookmaker's own site before you fund an account. Gambling can be addictive. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
