Questions punters ask

Do you take bets?

No. Odds only shows prices. When you want to bet, you go to the bookie yourself and bet with them.

Is this a bookie?

No. Odds is not a bookmaker and isn’t linked to one. We don’t get paid by bookies for showing their prices.

Which bookies do you show?

Only bookmakers licensed in Australia, checked against the government’s register (ACMA), plus Betfair. That includes TAB, Ladbrokes, Neds, PointsBet, bet365, Unibet, Betr and dozens of smaller Australian bookies.

Which races?

Australian and international racing: thoroughbreds, harness and greyhounds. On a normal day that’s meetings from Australia, Japan, UK, USA, Canada, France, Ireland, Sweden and Turkey, and more. If the Australian bookies are pricing a race, it’s on the screen.

Are the bookies Australian too?

Yes. Even for overseas races, every price comes from a bookmaker licensed in Australia, plus Betfair.

How fresh are the prices?

They update live, usually within a few seconds of the bookie changing them. A price can still move before you get to the bookie, so always check it there before you bet.

What’s Betfair?

Betfair is an exchange: punters bet against each other instead of against a bookie. We show its price as a handy yardstick.

What’s EV?

Some screens show “EV” (expected value), a maths estimate of how a bet might go over the long run. It’s an estimate only — most bets lose. It is not a tip and not a promise of a win.

Will this help me win?

No one can promise that. It shows you where the best price is, so you can see it quickly. Most bets lose. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

How much does it cost?

Free for 3 days, then $50 a week. Launch price $50 a week · Standard price $500 a week. One team plan covers the odds screen and the API. Prices are in Australian dollars.

How does the free trial work?

You get full access for 3 days. We ask for a card to start it. Cancel before the 3 days are up and you won’t be charged; otherwise it moves to $50 a week and renews weekly until you cancel. There’s one free trial per team. If you cancel, your keys switch off and your data is kept.

Can I get the data into my own tools?

Yes. We also offer API access: your spreadsheet, bot, model or app can connect and get the latest prices as they change. It’s included with the team plan. See the API page or the developer docs.

Is there an app?

It runs in your web browser on phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install.
