There's a sports betting epidemic. Remember, the house always wins, so don't be a fool. Don't waste your money betting, bet with your friends for funny prizes and penalties. To get started, create your squad and invite your friends to join. Add leagues you want to bet on and launch your bets. Predict, and claim your prize... or pay the penalty. We have 14 preset prizes and penalties, but you can also be creative and make your friends embarrass themselves with your own crazy penalties! You can create multiple squads, so you can bet with classmates, colleagues, family and other groups. We're starting with 1200 football leagues around the world (soccer for our American friends). Hopefully, we can scale to other sports soon. Let's making betting something fun, not a waste of money!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: IPL at none against BETTER's shown. BETTER's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
