A 10.41% margin removes about 9.43% of everything you stake, not 10.41%, because the margin is quoted against a base that already includes it. On R20 000 of turnover across a season that is roughly R1 886 to the bookmaker. Moving to Playabets at 6.00% would keep about R754 of that.

What they are good at

  • Labels its market types explicitly, which makes verification straightforward
  • Strong in-play offering with markets available on minor international fixtures
  • Large retail network for punters who prefer a shop

What to watch for

  • The board we can currently read carries in-play and minor-league fixtures, which price dearer than a league slate, so their figure is not comparable to the others
  • We hold no commercial relationship with Supabets, which we disclose rather than hide

Stated plainly

The verdict, and how we are paid

Measured but flagged. Until we can read their prematch board, treat their number as indicative of in-play pricing rather than their league offering.

Straight answers

Supabets questions

What margin does Supabets charge?
On the 12 three-way markets we read on 24 July 2026, Supabets averaged 10.41%, ranging from 6.9% to 11.91%. That is a payout of 90.57%, so roughly 9.43% of everything staked goes to the bookmaker before any result is known.
Is Supabets good value?
They ranked 4 of 4 on the week we measured. Against Playabets at 6.00%, the difference is worth about R754 on R20 000 of turnover across a season. Whether that matters to you depends on how much you bet.
How do you work out Supabets's margin?
We read their own published prices, convert each price to an implied probability, add them up, and subtract 100%. The excess is the fee. Prices render on the public homepage board; the prematch board uses a websocket we do not yet read. Nothing is estimated and no price is supplied by a third party.
Do you get paid by Supabets?
No. We hold no commercial relationship with Supabets at all, and they are measured and published anyway.
