The position

Best And Worst Bookmakers of 2018 a Retrospective is worth taking a view on because the market incentives pull operators one way and punters the other. Our view is that transparency around terms, payouts and margins benefits everyone in the long run — including the operators themselves.

The evidence

We arrived at this view by tracking outcomes over time, comparing operator behaviour across markets, and reading enough punter feedback to notice the repeating themes. A few operators stand out for doing it right; others have room to improve.

What changes if we are right
