Does its posted price hold?
Of 264 espn-bet prices Omenizer flagged as market-beating in the last 90 days, 56% were still there or better when we looked again; 44% had moved against the bettor and 0% had the market pulled. Measured only on prices we flagged as outliers — the ones most likely to be corrected — so read it against other books here, not as a share of espn-bet's whole board.

Who runs espn-bet

Availability: licensed in US. (reported — verification in progress)

In the last 90 days, espn-bet posted the board-leading price on 264 signals flagged by Omenizer's detection engine.

The margin is the bookmaker's built-in fee: the amount by which its implied probabilities exceed 100%. A 7.18% margin means that, on a typical espn-bet market, prices pay out 7.18% less than a fair-value book would. Omenizer's fair prices remove this margin using sharp reference sources — the methodology explains how.

FAQ

Is espn-bet legit?
Omenizer has not yet verified which company operates espn-bet or what licence it holds — a gap in our research rather than a finding against the book. Independently of that, Omenizer has measured 4,156 espn-bet markets in the last 7 days against the rest of the market, so its prices are observable rather than taken on trust. We publish the checks we can evidence and flag the ones we cannot — we do not certify bookmakers.
