How a bet slip is judged
The real chance
Each leg gets the chance it wins: 25 licensed South African bookmakers' prices with their margins removed, Pinnacle's line where it prices the match, and our goals model.
The fair price
Fair price is 1 divided by the chance. A leg that wins half the time is fair at 2.00. A price above fair is value; below it is short: you are paid less than the chance is worth.
The best book
The same legs pay differently at every bookmaker. The checker multiplies each licensed book's own prices and shows who pays most for your whole slip.
What the checker reads
Football bets on the match result (1X2), double chance, draw no bet, both teams to score, and over or under goals for the match or for one team, on lines ending in .5. Up to twelve legs a slip. A leg it cannot read is listed so you can replace it from the match list.
Legs are multiplied as if they were independent, which is how bookmakers price a multiple across different matches. Two legs from the same match move together, so the checker flags them and a logged slip takes one leg a match.

Bet slip checker: questions
How do I check a bet slip?
Paste the slip from your bookmaker, or type it in your own words: one bet a line, with the price if you have it ("Chiefs to beat Pirates 2.10"). You can also pick each match from the list. The checker shows the chance each leg wins, the fair price, whether your price is value, and what every licensed book pays for the same legs.
What makes a bet slip a good bet?
A price that is higher than the fair price. The fair price is 1 divided by the real chance: a leg that wins 50% of the time is fair at 2.00. Above that the bet is value; below it you are paid less than the chance is worth. A slip is judged the same way on all its legs together.
Where do the chances come from?
From every licensed South African bookmaker's price with its margin taken out, Pinnacle's line where it prices the match, and our goals model. They are the same chances shown on our predictions pages, re-read every 15 minutes.
Which bets can the bet slip checker read?
Football: match result, double chance, draw no bet, both teams to score and over or under goals for the match or one team, on lines ending in .5. Other markets and other sports are not checked yet; a leg it cannot read is shown so you can replace it.
Can I keep my bet slips and compare with friends?
Yes. Sign in with your email and a checked slip is kept in My bets and settled from the final score. Every bet counts as one unit, so a league table ranks judgement, not the size of a stake. Start a league and send your mates the link.
Does the checker place the bet?
No. Punts is not a bookmaker. It shows which licensed book pays most; you place the bet there. Prices move, so check the slip at the book before you confirm. 18+ only.
