Odds and margins across sports
Margin is the percentage of each bet retained by the bookmaker long-term. Lower margin means better value for the bettor. Zemenbet's margins are competitive on local football and basketball relative to the Ethiopian market average.
Margin figures are approximate. Actual margin varies by match, market type and odds movement leading up to the event. Outright and futures markets carry higher margins than match winner markets across all operators.
Live betting and cash out
In-play betting at Zemenbet covers all major football and basketball fixtures, with odds updating in real time. The cash-out feature is available on selected live events – you receive the current value of your open bet before the match ends. Cash-out amounts are calculated by the platform based on the live score and remaining time; the offered value can be lower than the original potential return.
Real-time odds updates
Odds on in-play markets refresh every few seconds based on match events. Goal, red card and injury events trigger immediate odds recalculation.
Cash out before final whistle
Lock in a profit or limit a loss before the match finishes. Available on qualifying pre-match and live bets. Not available on all markets or all events.
In-app live scores
The Zemenbet Android app shows live scores alongside open bets. Relevant for Ethiopian Premier League matches and European evening fixtures.
