Odds and Markets
There are eleven sports covered at the time of writing, which are soccer, horse racing, cricket, greyhound racing, tennis, golf, rugby union, American football, basketball, baseball and boxing. It’s soccer that has the lion’s share of coverage, with 358 matches covered at the time of writing and it’s clear that Samvo tend to specialise in Asian Handicap markets, which include Total Goals and Odd / Even. In addition to this, there’s obviously the WDW market as well as Correct Score, Total Goals and HT / FT.
Samvo also cover UK horse racing, which includes a selection of daily meetings as well as South African racing and a reasonable selection of antepost prices. The range of markets for American sports is also particularly good and the prices are actually quite competitive which you would expect from a firm that specialises in Asian Handicap odds.
Website
The Samvo website encourages the customer to ‘show your intelligence’ and there are two elements to the homepage. You can scroll a left-hand menu up and down to view the latest sports and markets, with the number of markets available for each sport listed all the time. Clicking on ‘Soccer’ will give you the option of ‘Today’ and ‘Early’, with the latter actually indicating early prices rather than events that are just about to start.
The main body of the homepage has a rotating flash graphic which promotes a variety of the gaming products under the Samvo umbrella, with the big upcoming soccer matches listed below, along with a selection of markets for each one. There doesn’t actually appear to be web pages devoted to each individual match with the option either to strike bets from the homepage or alternatively select a ‘bet type’ from the left-hand menu (eg Asian Handicap) and then all the odds for that bet type come available.
Customer Service
There is live chat available at Samvo, as well as an opportunity to email or phone the customer service. It doesn’t appear that they operate 24/7, although you should find someone available during normal working hours.
