FAQs

What is an Odds Matcher?

An Odds Matcher is a matched betting search tool that compares bookmaker odds with the corresponding lay odds on betting exchanges. It helps you find selections that can be backed with a bookmaker and laid on an exchange, making it quicker to complete qualifying bets and use eligible free-bet offers.

MatchedBets’ OddsMatcher compares bookmaker odds against prices from four betting exchanges and displays key information, including the event, market, selection, bookmaker odds, exchange lay odds, available liquidity and Match %.

Is the MatchedBets Odds Matcher free?

Yes. MatchedBets provides a free OddsMatcher that you can use to search for matched betting opportunities. You can select a match in the tool and open the linked Matched Betting Calculator to calculate the appropriate lay stake and exchange liability.

How does the Odds Matcher work?

The OddsMatcher searches for the same selection across bookmaker and betting-exchange markets. It then compares the bookmaker’s back odds with the exchange’s lay odds and presents the available information in one place.

To use it, choose a bookmaker, exchange, sport, market or odds range that fits your offer terms. Review the matches shown, select a suitable opportunity, and open the calculator from the match to enter your bookmaker stake and calculate the lay bet.

What is a qualifying bet?

A qualifying bet is the initial bet required to unlock a bookmaker promotion, such as a free bet, refund offer or reload bonus. In matched betting, the goal is normally to choose a close odds match between the bookmaker and exchange in order to minimise the qualifying loss.

The OddsMatcher’s default ranking orders results by qualifying loss, helping you identify matches that may be more suitable for this type of bet.

What does Match % mean in the Odds Matcher?

Match % is a measure of how closely the bookmaker odds match the available exchange lay odds. Generally, matched bettors looking for a qualifying bet aim for a figure close to, but below, 100%, as this can help reduce the cost of qualifying for an offer.

A value above 100% may indicate an arbitrage opportunity. Odds, liquidity and bookmaker terms can change, so always verify the live prices and the promotion’s eligibility rules before placing a bet.

What is SNR%?

SNR% means Stake Not Returned percentage. It is particularly relevant when using a free bet where the bookmaker does not return the original stake if the bet wins.

The SNR% rating ranks matches by the proportion of a stake likely to be retained. A higher SNR% can help you identify odds matches that may extract more value from eligible stake-not-returned free bets.

What is the difference between a qualifying-bet rating and an SNR% rating?

The qualifying-bet rating is designed to help you find lower-cost matches for bets you need to place in order to earn an offer. The default OddsMatcher setting ranks results by qualifying loss.

SNR% is intended for eligible free bets where the stake is not returned. It ranks results by the proportion of the free-bet stake retained, helping users find potential matches that could produce a higher return from the offer.

How often do odds update?

The OddsMatcher states that odds and exchange liabilities update in real time. Results refresh automatically, so you do not need to manually reload the page to see the latest displayed information.

Why is exchange liquidity important?

Exchange liquidity is the amount of money currently available to lay a selection at a particular price. You need sufficient liquidity to place the lay bet at the odds used in your calculation.

Even when a match appears in the OddsMatcher, available liquidity can change before you place the bet. Check that the amount available is enough for your required lay stake, and re-check the live price immediately before confirming the bet.

Can I filter Odds Matcher results?

Yes. The tool allows you to filter results by bookmaker, betting exchange, sport and betting market. You can also set minimum and maximum odds, choose a range of ratings, specify how much must be available to lay, search by event name and filter by event start time.

Can I use the Odds Matcher for free bets?

Yes. The OddsMatcher is designed to help identify matches for eligible free-bet offers as well as qualifying bets. Use the SNR% rating to rank available matches by the proportion of stake that may be retained when using a stake-not-returned free bet.

Before placing a free bet, read the bookmaker’s terms carefully. Confirm the required minimum odds, eligible sports and markets, expiry date, maximum winnings, stake-return condition and any exclusions that apply.

Can I use the Odds Matcher for reload bonuses and money-back offers?

Yes. The page states that its filters can be tailored to reload bonuses and money-back offers. Once you know the terms of the promotion, apply relevant filters—such as bookmaker, sport, market, minimum odds or start time—to narrow your search to potentially eligible selections.

For a money-back, risk-free or bonus offer, select the appropriate bet type in the linked calculator before relying on its figures.

Does the Odds Matcher calculate my lay stake?

The OddsMatcher links directly to the Matched Betting Calculator. When you open the calculator from a listed match, it is automatically populated with the relevant bookmaker and exchange odds. You then enter the bookmaker stake to calculate the suggested lay stake and exchange liability.

Which bet types can I choose in the calculator?

The linked calculator includes options for a normal qualifying bet, free bet, risk-free bet and bonus. Choose the setting that matches the exact promotion you are using, because different offer structures can require different calculations.

Does a high Match % guarantee profit?

No. A close match can reduce the cost of a qualifying bet or help maximise the potential value of an eligible free bet, but it does not guarantee profit. Bookmaker rules, changed odds, incomplete exchange liquidity, commission, voided selections and betting errors can all affect the outcome.

Always check the bookmaker’s full offer terms, the live bookmaker and exchange odds, the available lay amount, exchange commission and your calculator inputs before betting.

What should I check before placing a matched bet?

Before placing a bet, confirm:

• The bookmaker offer is available to you and your selection is eligible.
• The bookmaker back odds and exchange lay odds still match the figures shown.
• Sufficient exchange liquidity is available for your calculated lay stake.
• You have selected the correct event, market and selection on both platforms.
• You have entered the correct bookmaker stake, exchange commission and bet type in the calculator.
• The event start time allows enough time to place both sides of the bet.
• You understand the offer’s settlement, payout and withdrawal conditions.

Is matched betting risk-free?

No. Matched betting may reduce exposure to an individual sporting outcome when both sides are placed correctly, but it still involves financial risk. Prices and liquidity can change quickly, offers have specific terms, and mistakes can lead to losses. Only use funds you can afford to lose, read all promotional terms and gamble responsibly.
