Market guide
Possible value gap

Bookmaker price is bigger than the exchange guide.

+7.3%

In plain English

If the wider market thinks a runner is closer to 13.5, but a bookmaker is still offering 17.0, that price may be bigger than it should be.

The simple idea

MarketMare looks for prices that stand out.

You do not need to understand every exchange movement. The scanner uses the exchange as a guide to the live market, then flags bookmaker prices that sit above that guide.

Why racing is different

Value is not only about the win price.

In horse racing, place terms and race structure matteras much as the headline odds.

📖

Place terms can create value

A bookmaker might offer extra places, or better each-way terms. That can make the place side of a bet stand out.

🏁

Race shape matters

Big, open handicaps often have more runners and more moving parts. That can leave some prices out of line.

Build your own feed

Set filters around odds, race type, runners, value level and place terms, so the alerts fit the races you want to follow.

MarketMare is built for this. It does not just look for a big price. It checks the race setup, the place terms and the exchange guide before an alert is sent.

Step by step

From racing market to Telegram alert.

The process is simple. Scan the prices, compare them, filter the noise, then send the useful alerts.

Bookmaker odds are compared to the exchange

The exchange price acts as the market guide. When a bookmaker is noticeably bigger, it becomes interesting.

Filters remove weaker matches

The alert still needs to match the settings, such as minimum odds, race type, value level and place terms.
