How Odds Screen Works

What Odds Screen is for

Odds Screen

PuntPilot's price board. Odds Screen lets you compare bookmaker and exchange prices across the events and markets we have indexed.

TL;DR

Odds Screen is for checking the market, not building a full betting strategy for you.

Use it when you want to see which bookmaker has the best price, compare that price against fair odds, or jump into Bet Stats for a closer look.

What Odds Screen shows

Odds Screen starts with events, then groups the prices by market and selection.

At a high level, it tells you:

  • when the event starts
  • which market you are looking at
  • which selection the price belongs to
  • the best available price we have indexed
  • the fair odds and average odds for that selection
  • the prices available at each selected bookmaker or exchange

That makes it different from Radar or Positive EV. Those tools try to surface betting candidates for a specific strategy. Odds Screen is closer to a live price board: it helps you inspect a market quickly, then decide what to do next.

Bookmakers and exchanges

Bookmaker columns show the available back price for each selection.

Exchange columns are split into back and lay prices. Back prices behave like a normal bookmaker back bet. Lay prices are what you would use if you were betting against the selection on an exchange.

If an exchange back price has an E marker, the displayed price is an effective price that accounts for the exchange win fee.

Best, fair, and average odds

ColumnMeaning
Best OddsThe highest available back price for that selection across the visible bookmakers and exchange back prices
Fair OddsPuntPilot's estimated fair price for the selection
Avg OddsThe average indexed back price across the visible market

When Best Odds is above Fair Odds, Odds Screen can show the edge beside the price. Treat that as a signal to inspect, not an instruction to bet.

Prices move

Odds Screen is built from indexed prices. Before placing, open the bookmaker or exchange and check the price is still available at the stake you want.

What to do next

Start by learning the filters, because Odds Screen is only useful once it is narrowed to the sports, markets, and bookmakers you care about. Then learn how to read the table and use the action buttons.
