What GoldEdge does with Star Sports
| Role | Compared bookmaker |
|---|---|
| Value bets | Yes |
| Arbitrage | No |
| Horse racing | Yes, with each-way terms |
| Sports | Football, tennis, basketball, horse racing |
- Its prices feed value bets, the odds pages, dropping odds and the in-play board; like every UK sportsbook GoldEdge covers, it is not used as an arbitrage leg.
- Star Sports' prices are compared like any other book's, but the feed carries no page address for its listings, so GoldEdge cannot link straight to a Star Sports market.

No. Star Sports is priced for value bets, odds comparison and dropping odds, but GoldEdge does not use any of the UK sportsbooks as an arbitrage leg.
