Methodology

Every number on this site comes from one of the sources below. If a figure is not in one of them, I leave the claim out rather than estimate it.

Bookmaker margin

A bookmaker's prices imply a total chance above 100%. That excess is the margin, and it is what the book keeps.

I take the inverse of every price in a market, add them, subtract one and show the result as a percentage. Nothing is estimated. Where a market is missing a price, I leave that market out instead of filling the gap.

Over/under markets are computed per line. A 2.5 goals line is its own two-outcome market and is not mixed with 1.5 or 3.5.

Match predictions

Built from fixtures and recent results, and priced with the odds the Nigerian bookmakers offer on their own sites. Form covers the last five completed matches.

I describe what the market implies, then give one read per match: a market such as over 2.5 goals, with what it rests on. I do not predict a scoreline, and I do not tell you how much to stake.

Payout times and fees

Three sources, always named in the text where the figure appears:

Reader reports describe the share and trend of complaints, not an average time: people who are paid on schedule rarely write in, so that sample would understate the good cases.

Where I have tested nothing, the page says so.

Bookmaker reviews

Built from two things: what players post in public app-store reviews, and the bookmaker's own terms and help pages. Every rule a review states links to the page where the bookmaker says it.

Complaint counts are the number of reviews that mention a topic in a stated period. They show where players run into trouble, not whether each complaint was fair.

Prediction record

Every prediction ends with one call, such as under 2.5 goals. The call is fixed at kick-off with the best price the Nigerian bookmakers offered on it, then checked against the final score. The prediction record lists every call, the wrong ones included, and nothing is removed from it.

What I will not publish

How I am paid

I earn a commission when you open an account through a link here. Links carry no extra cost to you and the destination is the operator's own site, unchanged.

It does not buy a good review. My reviews state what each operator does badly, and an operator whose payouts slow down gets written about.

Corrections

If a figure is wrong, I fix it and note the change on the page. Tell me through the contact address in the footer.
