While browsing or placing bets on Sportmarket, you may notice a small green “e” icon next to the bookmaker’s name on your betslip.
So, what does it mean?

Let’s break it down.


🟢 The “e” Stands for Equivalent Bets

The green “e” indicates that the bookmaker is offering an equivalent version of your selected bet.

An equivalent bet is a different market that has the same meaning and outcome as the one you chose - just expressed in a different format.


🔁 Why Do Bookmakers Offer Equivalent Bets?

Sometimes, your chosen market might not be available with a particular bookmaker.
To still give you the best possible chance of getting your bet placed, Sportmarket allows the system to match it with an equivalent market.

This helps:

  • Increase your fill rate (more bets placed successfully),

  • Expand your options without changing your intended outcome.


📊 Examples of Equivalent Bets

Your Selection

Equivalent Bet from Bookmaker

Over 2.5 Goals

Against Under 2.5 Goals

Home Win (1X2)

Home -0.5 (Asian Handicap)

Draw (1X2)

+0 Handicap (Asian Handicap)

In all of the examples above, the bet result and payout would be the same, even though the format differs.


🧘 No Worries - Your Bet Is Safe

Even when an equivalent bet is used:

  • ✅ The system only matches with bets that truly represent the same outcome.

  • 🧾 The equivalent bet is always aligned with what you originally selected on your betslip.

So there’s no need to worry - you’ll get the exact result you expected.
