Premier League Odds
Across a sample of 278 priced Premier League selections, Betfair returned the best available price on 48.6% of markets — more than double any rival — while running the lowest average margin at 4.6%. That combination makes it the reference book for Premier League odds in the current data. Coral (27.1% best-price share, 5.66% margin) and Ladbrokes (20.2%, 5.88%) follow. Below we break down where the sharpest prices sit, how margins compare, and the best-priced 1X2 lines on this week's fixtures.

Where the best Premier League betting odds sit
Best-price share measures how often a bookmaker posts the top available price in our sampled Premier League markets. Average margin measures the built-in overround — lower is better for the bettor.
- Betfair: 48.6% best-price share, 4.64% avg margin (278 markets)
- Coral: 27.1% best-price share, 5.66% avg margin (247)
- Ladbrokes: 20.2% best-price share, 5.88% avg margin (253)
- Sky Bet: 15.7% best-price share, 6.45% avg margin (242)
- Unibet: 15.2% best-price share, 5.89% avg margin (250)
- 888sport: 15.1% best-price share, 7.09% avg margin (292)
- BetMGM: 14.8% best-price share, 5.24% avg margin (122)
- William Hill: 14.7% best-price share, 7.19% avg margin (266)
- Betway: 12.8% best-price share, 6.81% avg margin (257)
- Paddy Power: 9.7% best-price share, 7.11% avg margin (257)
- Virgin Bet: 9.3% best-price share, 8.30% avg margin (214)
- BoyleSports: 8.9% best-price share, 7.81% avg margin (246)
- LiveScore Bet: 8.9% best-price share, 8.46% avg margin (214)
- BetVictor: 6.2% best-price share, 7.66% avg margin (243)
The pattern is clear: Betfair's exchange-influenced sportsbook and Coral/Ladbrokes' low overround (both under 6%) explain their leadership on price. At the other end, Virgin Bet and LiveScore Bet carry margins above 8%, meaning shorter prices on the same selections. bet365 was sampled on only 30 markets and returned no best prices in that set, so treat its 7.44% margin as indicative rather than conclusive.
Best-priced 1X2 odds on this week's Premier League fixtures
Top available prices from the sampled operators for the upcoming matchweek (kick-off times UTC). Betfair supplies the majority of the leading prices, consistent with its 48.6% best-price share.

- Fulham v Chelsea (24 Aug): Home 3.60, Draw 4.00 (Betfair), Away 2.10 (Ladbrokes)
Note the away-price outliers: Coral tops the Bournemouth line at 7.00 and Ladbrokes tops Chelsea at 2.10, both beating Betfair on those specific selections. This is why line-shopping across two or three books captures value even when one operator dominates overall.

Premier League winner and outright odds
Premier League outright odds (title winner, top four, relegation) are longer-dated markets where margin differences compound over a full season. On multi-runner outright books the overround is spread across every club, so a lower average margin translates directly into better prices on the favourites and mid-table longshots alike.
Betfair's 4.64% sampled margin and Coral's 5.66% make them the logical first look for Premier League winner odds and each-way top-four bets. For antepost and season-long positions, track how prices drift from the opening line — our futures and market-movers pages log those shifts. Because outright prices move on transfers, injuries and fixture congestion, checking two low-margin books before committing protects your stake value.
Reading margins: why the numbers rank operators this way
Every 1X2 market carries an overround — the sum of implied probabilities above 100%. A 4.6% margin book returns more of the true price to you than an 8.3% book on the identical outcome. Over a season of Premier League fixtures odds, that gap is the single largest controllable edge for a recreational bettor.
Best-price share and margin are related but distinct. A book can post competitive headline prices yet rarely be the outright best (bet365 rates 8.8 for odds on our scorecard but was under-sampled here). Conversely, Coral and Ladbrokes convert their low overround into frequent best prices. Use both metrics together: margin tells you the average deal, best-price share tells you how often that book wins the line.
