The current selected markets will appear in the centre of the page with the betting slip on the right alongside the live calendar.

This includes sports like Tennis, Horse Racing, Basketball, Formula 1, American Football, Baseball, Boxing Volleyball and Ice Hockey to name a few.
They also offer a range of niche sports like Trotting, Chess, Table Tennis, Pool and Entertainment. Each sport and each event features a huge range of markets including match bets, future, prop and in-play wagers. In terms of odds, the site is quite competitive in their pricing, especially on some of the larger sports.
