Triple5bet bookmaker review

We calculated the margin for Triple5bet by analysing the odds they offer. We further ranked them in one of the following three categories:

From 1% to 5%: Good value

Over 5% to 7%: Average value

Over 7% to 10%: Poor value

Football

We’re getting our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the total goals scored for different football leagues. By getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and also the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.

Triple5bet has an overall average margin of 5.22% for football and falls in the average value category. In the first section using odds from the English Premier League, the margin is at 4.49%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, has a margin of 4.53%. Finally, by counting the English Football League One, Austrian Bundesliga and Polish Ekstraklasa, the margin is at 6.65%.

Triple5bet is a budding online betting platform in Kenya. 

Range of Sports: The bookie offers a small pool of sports selection. Considering the number of sports offered by other top betting platforms, the selection of sports offered is relatively smaller than the standard.

Punters can wager on a few selected sports like football, basketball, rugby, tennis, handball, table tennis, volleyball, ice hockey, boxing and esports.

It is important to note that the bookie doesn't offer non-sport selections like politics and tv shows which could be missed from some punters.

What the bookie lacks in sports selection, makes up for it in the virtual sports section though. This is taking into consideration the wide array of sporting events available on the virtual section of the platform. So, we have to give them some credit for boasting a well detailed virtual section with a diverse range of football competitions to go with.

They also have a daily jackpot section where one can place a bet with KES 20 and try to make the correct picks from eight games. The cash prize will be shared across all the winners who took part in the daily jackpot.

Finally, they have an esports section available on their website but upon visiting the section, it was empty and without a single game. This was taken into consideration as at the time of review.

It is also worthy to note that the user interface is very impressive. Its design is simplistic, featuring vibrant color themes and depict a level of coordination that makes it easy to navigate through the website.

Range of Bets and Markets: It is not enough for a bookie to have a broad selection of sports, there is also the need for a broad selection of betting options to keep the equation balanced. Punters love having options and that is a given fact. Therefore, any bookie that offers a wide range of options needs not to try too hard to get a special place in their hearts.

For football lovers, it could be argued that the betting options are few when compared to some other betting platforms. However, there are still a few interesting options that they can take advantage of like "handicap", "win to nil", "1st goalscorer", "halftime full-time correct score" to mention but a few.

Basketball funs are not neglected either because there are some interesting options they can wager on to boost their interest of betting. Options like: "1st half Total", "2nd half Total", "Will there be overtime", "Handicap (including overtime) " and more.

Betting limits: The amounts that can be wagered will be enough for most punters. Like almost always though, the limits are getting chopped when it comes to betting on lower leagues.

Triple5bet is one of the fast-growing bookies in Kenya that have tapped into the potential of having the live betting feature. 

Considering how much punters have come to love live betting, it is a plus for any bookie as they are bound to attract more customers.

For their live betting section, there is a decent number of sports you can try your hands on.

As at the time of this review, there were 5 sports available. They include football, tennis, handball, ice hockey and cricket. So, invariably, punters are not just stuck with football games alone.

One can't help but note that the concentration of options is more on live football events as opposed to other sporting events. It is very evident with sports like basketball and tennis having just about 20+options, compared to football where there is an availability of over 60 betting markets.

Triple5bet should consider adding more sports and most importantly stack up other sports asides football with more betting options too.

In general, the live section is quite commendable and is quite easy to navigate. With consistent efforts towards improvement, they can get a lot better.
