National League Betting Tips at OLBG Explained
Alongside the individual National League matches and betting market, you will see the confidence percentage rating for each National League tip.
The OLBG rating takes into consideration the total number of tips placed on each possible outcome for that tip market so, for example, the Full-Time Result (Home, Away or Draw) or Total Goals (Over or Under 2.5 goals) and the greater the confidence percentage rating is (say 80%) compared to the best odds available (e.g. Evens = 50%) for that tip may suggest you have a good value bet.
