Price honesty: which bookmakers keep the smallest cut?
Every bookmaker keeps a small cut of each bet by setting its prices a little below fair.
This table ranks licensed bookmakers from the smallest cut to the biggest, using the prices
they are showing right now on every game we track. A smaller cut means you get more back when you win.

Do the odds come true?
Take the cut out, and the odds are a good guess. When the odds said something had about a
one-in-four chance, it happened about one time in four. The chart shows every band side by side.
What it shows: what the odds said would happen next to how often it really did,
across 18,238 settled markets (all bookmakers together, not one by one). Method:
