Which odds comparison sites actually save you money?

The best odds comparison sites all do one job: show you what different bookmakers are paying on the same bet, so you don’t take a worse price than you had to. It’s worth the minute for anyone with more than one bookmaker account, which should be most people who bet regularly.

There are two camps. Free comparison sites for everyday use: Oddschecker for UK bookmakers, OddsPortal with its archive of historical odds and line movement, plus Oddspedia. BestFightOdds does the same for MMA. Then the paid US odds screens, OddsJam and Unabated, which add expected value and arbitrage finders and are priced for serious users. Betstamp, from Canada, combines odds comparison with a bet tracker.

One downside applies to nearly all the free ones. They earn commission from bookmakers, so their pages carry a lot of bookmaker promotion. Use the grid and ignore the banners.

How a score is built is set out in the review methodology. Tools publish no picks, so accuracy never applies: transparency, coverage, ease of use, price and support decide it. Every number on this page is a first pass from desk research. Nothing here has had a hands-on review yet, so expect movement.

Odds comparison makes most sense once you can read a price as a percentage. How betting odds work covers that, and value betting explains why the best price matters so much. Only open accounts with bookmakers licensed where you live. For every other kind of tool, see the full betting tools and software list.

A better price is still a bet that can lose. 18+.

Odds comparison sites: common questions

  • What is an odds comparison site?

    It's a site that shows the price several bookmakers offer on the same outcome, side by side, so you can take the highest. The bet is the same whoever you place it with. The payout isn't. Checking takes less than a minute and it's the easiest improvement most bettors can make.

  • Does comparing odds really make a difference?

    Yes, over time. The gap between the best and worst price on a football match is often a few percent, and on outsiders it can be much more. On one bet that's small change. Over a season of bets it can be the difference between a small loss and a bigger one.

  • Are odds comparison sites free?

    The general ones are. Oddschecker, OddsPortal, Oddspedia and BestFightOdds are free and earn money when you click through to a bookmaker. US odds screens such as OddsJam and Unabated are built for serious bettors and charge a subscription for their full toolsets.

  • Why is the price different when I click through to the bookmaker?

    Odds move all the time and comparison grids update with a delay, from a few seconds to a few minutes. Boosted prices and regional differences add to the confusion. Always check the odds on your bet slip before you confirm, and don't assume the grid is live to the second.

  • Do odds comparison sites show every bookmaker?

    No. They show the bookmakers they have data deals or commercial deals with, and that list depends on your country. Oddschecker is built around UK bookmakers, OddsJam and Unabated around US sportsbooks. A bookmaker licensed where you live might be missing, so treat the grid as a guide, not the whole market.

  • What is the difference between an odds comparison site and an odds screen?

    An odds comparison site is made for casual use: pick a match, see the best price. An odds screen, the American term, is a faster professional tool with many sportsbooks in columns, line movement and extras such as expected value and arbitrage finders. Screens cost money and assume you know what you're looking at.
