Oddsfan

Every experienced bettor knows that over the long term, bookmaker margin is what makes a player lose money. It is a kind of commission built into the odds for every event by the establishments. The higher it is, the greater the bookmaker's profit and the player's loss. Obviously, if you bet at the highest prices, your chances of success increase, especially in the long term. Even if you fail to turn a profit, at least the losses will not be as significant.

To bet at the most favorable odds, you need to be registered with several bookmakers. Competition between them is so strong that they are forced to inflate their prices to attract customers. Searching manually for the best offers is simply unrealistic: the lines move too dynamically and the values change literally within a couple of hours, and even more often within a few minutes.

Specialized resources come to players' aid by automatically scanning bookmakers' lines, comparing odds and displaying the highest and most favorable offers. The bettor only has to place a bet at a specific establishment. One such service on the domestic market is Oddsfan – a bookmaker odds comparison website.

Official website

The home page greets the user with warm tones; the design is predominantly executed in shades of green against a white background, with small splashes of other colors. Notably, visitors can change the background to dark by clicking the corresponding button, which is very convenient at night.

At the very top are a search form for sporting events, time-zone settings and a tab for registration or authorization. Slightly below are banners announcing the largest football matches taking place soon. Information is also provided here about the bookmakers offering the highest prices on them.

In the center is a table with the most popular events currently taking place live, as well as those starting soon. Here you can choose a sport, start time and select the required market.

The left side of the resource contains a list of bookmakers and sports, which can be filtered by the required parameters. At the bottom of the portal are several useful links: the blog, a description of the service, the user agreement and more.

How to use the resource?

Oddsfan focuses on finding the highest odds among several dozen bookmakers. Using the service is much easier than it may seem at first glance: the developers have taken care of comfortable navigation and created a genuinely convenient tool. A list of the most popular and largest events is displayed directly in the central part of the resource's home page. Most players bet on them, so in most cases there is no need to go anywhere else; the information is available immediately after opening the website.

By default, football matches and their odds are displayed on the main screen, as this is the most popular sport. But it is easy to change it by selecting the relevant discipline at the top of the table: hockey, tennis, basketball, handball and badminton. If you need other types of competitions, click the “Other” button, after which an additional menu will open.

If you are interested in a specific match that is not on the main screen, a simple search will help; you only need to know the country, sport and championship name. For example, suppose you need the Dynamo–Lokomotiv competition in the Russian volleyball championship. To view information about it, select the relevant discipline on the left, specify the country and choose the domestic championship. The information will immediately appear on the page in table form.

Supported bookmakers and sports

To avoid viewing the odds of establishments they do not need, users can filter by bookmaker. Simply click the “Bookmakers” tab on the left side of the website, and an additional window will open over the current page. It will list all available bookmakers; the player should tick the bookmakers they are interested in.

The service offers 71 establishments, including brands popular among Russian users. For example:

• Liga Stavok;
• Marathon;
• Olimp;
• Betfair;
• Betsiti;
• Fonbet;
• PariMatch;
• Winline;
• Zenit.

There are also bookmakers known only to European customers. The current number of supported bookmakers can be уточнить directly on the resource, in the lower-left section, where the number of establishments and markets is always displayed.

The service works with 22 sports. You can view the list by clicking the corresponding button on the left side of the website. The most popular competitions are represented: football, tennis, hockey, basketball, volleyball and handball. The selection also includes less common disciplines: Gaelic sports, Formula 1, darts, snooker, futsal, rugby and more.

The number of markets supported in the bookmaker's line is also pleasing; at the time of writing, their number is 157. In addition to the main outcomes – wins, totals and handicaps – there are odds on statistics, the European handicap, a win to nil and more.

Additional features

Conclusion

Oddsfan is an actively developing odds comparison service. It appeared on the betting market relatively recently – in 2017; nevertheless, it has grown into a high-quality portal focused on customer convenience. It offers excellent navigation, a well-designed layout and excellent functionality. The support service is ready to assist all website visitors with any questions.

The number of supported bookmakers, sports and markets is also pleasing. Obviously, their number will grow in the future, as the administration announces on the resource's page. The portal makes it easy to track odds movements and search for the best offers.

For now, the service operates entirely free of charge, meaning any website visitor can use its services without any additional conditions. However, this will not last long: in the near future, the developers plan to introduce functionality for finding arbitrage betting opportunities and value bets, which will undoubtedly lead to the introduction of a paid mode. Therefore, you should use all the resource's capabilities now.
