Odds are not probability

A price of 4/1 implies roughly a 20% chance. That's not a measurement of what will happen — it's the bookmaker's number, and it has their margin baked into it. Add up the implied chances of every runner in a race and you'll get more than 100%. That extra bit is the bookmaker's edge.

What we promise

  • Every bet gets a downside. If we can't explain how it loses, we won't show it.
  • No invented facts. Odds, form and races come from a named source with a timestamp — or they're labelled as samples.
  • No "guaranteed", no "can't lose". There's no such thing, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
  • Limits you set. Tell us your daily and weekly ceiling and we'll hold you to it.
