    Choose 'Free Bet (SNR)' if using a free bet token. Choose 'Qualifying Bet' if placing a real-money qualifying bet to unlock a free bet offer.

    The odds shown at the bookmaker for your selection. Fan Bet Odds recommends 5.0–7.0 for SNR free bet conversion.

    Enter lay odds

    The odds shown on the exchange for the same selection. Usually slightly higher than back odds due to the spread.
