While browsing or placing bets on Sportmarket, you may notice a small green āeā icon next to the bookmakerās name on your betslip.
So, what does it mean?
Letās break it down.
š¢ The āeā Stands for Equivalent Bets
The green āeā 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.
š 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.
š 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.
š§ No Worries - Your Bet Is Safe
Even when an equivalent bet is used:
ā The system only matches with bets that truly represent the same outcome.
š§¾ The equivalent bet is always aligned with what you originally selected on your betslip.
So thereās no need to worry - youāll get the exact result you expected.
