Bookie Leagues follow a round-robin format with each bookie playing one another home and away.

The bookie with the most points at the end of the season wins the league.

In the event of a tie, bookies will be separated by goal difference, then goals scored, then average winning odds, then over-round.

Bookies score goals by creating chances or by being awarded penalties.

If a bookie scores more goals than their opponent, they win the match and are awarded three points.

In the event of a tie, the match ends in a draw and both bookies receive one point.

Bookies create two chances for each EPL game in which they offer better winning outcome odds than their opponent.

If both bookies offer the same odds, they create one chance each.

In addition, the home team creates four extra chances if they run offers in a given match week, while the away team creates two.

A bookie's probability of scoring from a chance depends negatively on their average over-round for that match week.

Bookies may also be awarded penalties from which they have a 75% chance of scoring.

The probability of receiving a penalty depends on a bookie's 'possession', which is given by the inverse of their relative over-round.

The stochastic nature of goal-scoring ensures that the best bookie does not always win.

Over the course of a season, the chances are high that the bookie with the best odds will receive the most points.

However, always remember that the best bookie for you is the one that offers the highest winning outcome odds, has the lowest over-round, or has the best offers.

The bookie league format is just for fun, and does not offer any verdict on the overall quality of a bookmaker's service.
