Football-data company Accurate Predict has inaugurated the first free bet-code converter for Nigeria and the African betting market.
Accurate Predict Marketing Consultant, Olufemi Osunyingbo, made the disclosure in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos.
Osunyingbo described the converter as a browser-based tool that was integrated into the firm’s Android app.
He said that the initiative allowed bettors to paste a booking code from one sportsbook and instantly generate a fresh code that works seamlessly on another platform.
“For punters who manage multiple betting accounts, the service aims to eliminate the hassle of manually rebuilding accumulators or single-match multiples just to secure better odds.
“Copy-and-paste betting is painful and prone to mistakes.

“If fans can shop for shoes across several e-commerce sites with one click, they should be able to do the same with their bet slips.”
According to him, the process is simple and could be used by any bettor/punters.
“Users paste an existing booking code into a text field, select their preferred bookmaker, and let the system do the rest.
“An algorithm automatically maps each market to its closest equivalent on the destination site, checks live odds, and flags any discrepancies before issuing a new code.
“The engine relies on an internal catalogue of more than 12,000 market identifiers, backed by an “odds reconciliation” layer that pulls real-time data through API feeds,” he added.
Osunyingbo stated that the company conducted tests involving 500 Nigerian users.
He explained that the prototype reduced the time needed to rebuild a five-leg accumulator from nearly five minutes to under five seconds.
He said test users also reported an average 7 per cent boost in potential payouts by switching bookies at the right moment.
