Rating on Live Betting services in Nigeria
In this section, the evaluation of the bookmaker is decided by multiple factors: number of bets available, variety in the line and the speed of updating and calculating In-play bets. The list of the bookmakers is ranked in several easy to understand categories, where each bookmaker corresponds to his or her service.
How live rating is calculated
Complicated formulas and simple explanations
The Rating on In-Play Betting evaluates the effectiveness of bets in Live mode, when the event has already started. For the calculation, we use three equal variables: margin (commission on the bet), event depth and Live bookmaker line width. Margin shows how profitable the bookmaker's odds are. Event depth reflects the number of available sports bets in Live mode on a specific event. Line width evaluates the number of matches within the tournament. The overall rating is formed from the sum of these indicators, providing the user with information about the best bookmakers for Live bets.
MAX_M: Maximum marginality among all bookmakers.
CURRENT_M: Marginality of the current bookmaker.
MAX_G: Maximum event depth among all bookmakers.
CURRENT_G: Event depth at the current bookmaker.
MAX_L: Maximum line width among all bookmakers.
CURRENT_L: Line width at the current bookmaker.
Not for sale
The "Sponsored" icon means that the position of the bookmaker in this list is determined on a commercial basis.
The ratings on Legalbet are compiled as honestly and objectively as possible, so we indicate "Not for sale" on them to make it clear which are based on merit.
