BetExplorer review 2015

BetExplorer lets visitors browse through statistics for football, hockey, basketball, handball, volleyball and baseball. Once you finish selecting your bets, you can find the best odds thanks to odds comparison feature which processes betting odds from 50+ bookmakers. You can either find the best odds for one single bet or for multi bets.

 

Main features

BetExplorer has information about Football, Basketball, Hockey, Handball, Volleyball and Baseball.

The site is easy to navigate. A top menu allows users to select the sport, while a left menu bar help us chose the function (results, next matches, odds filter, odds movements, my selection, hot favorites, streaks, live scores)

 

Results and Next matches

These sections show the results of recent matches and the schedule for next matches, for the selected sport. Results firstly displays results from yesterday matches and Next matches firstly shows today matches. However, users can change the date and see older matches, today matches and future matches. In fact, these sections provide past results, live scores, schedules and odds (for future events) on the same page.

In the next picture you can see Alaska Aces won the match against Utah Grizzlies 4-3 at extra time, Kalter and Vipiteno are still 0-0 10 minutes after the game started and Oshawa Generals will play against North Bay Battalion later this day.

You can notice that this page also provides the odds for each live and future events for one market. It shows the best odds for each outcome in the main market for the selected sport.

You can then select a particular event and you will be able to compare odds on many markets.

 

Odds comparison

After selecting an event, you will be able to compare odds on any market. The site will display odds from lots of bookmakers for the main market, but users can browse any other market (Over/Under, Asian Handicap, Draw no bet, double chance, etc.). If you click the mouse over any odds, you can see the odds history for this particular outcome.

Users can add any outcome on any market to “My Selections” (up to three)

 

Odds filter

The odds filter feature allows users to select a list of events (for the selected sport or for all sports) where bookmakers offer odds between two specific minimum and maximum values. Minimum value can be chosen from 1.00 to 5.00 (in 0.05 steps) and maximum value can range from 1.05 up to 5 (in 0.05 steps) or 999. Events can be shown for the next 2, 4, 7 or 14 days.

Users cannot chose the market. The markets offered are: 1X2 for football, hockey and handball, and home/away for basketball, volleyball and baseball.

Next image shows odds between 1.30 and 1.35 on any sport for the next two days.

 

Odds movements

The odds movements feature is a great tool to get valuable information to place your bets. This page shows Dropping Odds and displays the latest betting market trends. The “Drop” column in the dropping odds table indicates percentage of odds decrease. The box highlighted shows current value for the dropping odds and when user hovers over it, the page shows the initial odds value.

You can filter which situations you want to be displayed, selecting the sport or using a time range filter (last 2 hours, last 12 hours, last 24 hours, last 48 hours or unlimited), the date of the events (today, today and tomorrow, next 7 days or anytime) and the number of bookmakers where odds have dropped (from 30% to 70%). During our review the “unlimited” time range filter did not work.

 

Hot favorites

Find out what other users are betting on. “Hot favorites” feature gives you suggestions on popular bets from BetExplorer visitors, based on their use of BetExplorer.com website. It shows a list of events, and the number of clicks on certain odds, highlighting the ones with most clicks.

 

Streaks

Streaks is an interesting feature where teams with streaks (wins, draws, losses, etc) are shown, including the number of matches in the streak and the next matches.

There are many filters that can be used to take advantage of this feature, including:

• Wins
• Draws
• Losses
• No wins
• No draws
• No losses
• Best/Worst teams (best and worst Points/Games ratio)
• Best/Worst offense (Goals/Games ratio)
• Best/Worst defense (Goals received/Games ratio)
• O/U 2.5 streaks (teams with over 2.5 or under 2.5 streaks on their previous matches)
• Best/Worst O/U 2.5 teams (Over/Under 2.5 matches/Games ratio)

Some streaks depend on the selected sport. If hockey is selected, the O/U streak changes to O/U 5.5, and some markets disappear (such as draws on basketball)

 

Other features

BetExplorer offers other features quite common on other sites, such as live scores, past results and standings. These tools are a good complement to have all information on a single site, although they are not useful regarding betting.
