Unibet — real bookmaker margin

We measure the margin Unibet actually builds into its 1X2 football prices — not the one it advertises. 1,371 matches in the last 30 days, every price taken from our own odds snapshots. We have no commercial relationship with Unibet or any other bookmaker.

What that margin costs you

At a 10.56% margin, every 100 units you stake with Unibet carry an expected cost of 10.56 units before any skill is involved. Someone staking 100 units a month pays roughly 127 units a year in margin alone — 106 units more per year than at the cheapest bookmaker we track (Matchbook, 1.74%).

Margin over the last 90 days

Each point is the average margin of the matches whose last pre-match price we captured that week (weeks with fewer than 10 matches are hidden). The most recent point can still move slightly as late prices arrive.

Frequently asked

What is Unibet's real margin on 1X2 football odds?

Measured from 1,371 matches in the last 30 days, Unibet's average 1X2 margin is 10.56%. That means the implied probabilities of its home/draw/away prices add up to about 110.6% instead of 100%; the excess is the bookmaker's built-in fee.

Is Unibet cheaper or more expensive than the sharp benchmark?

Unibet's margin of 10.56% is 4.08 percentage points above the sharp benchmark's 6.48% over the same matches. Among the 35 bookmakers we track with enough data, Unibet ranks #28; the cheapest is Matchbook at 1.74%.

Which leagues is Unibet most expensive on?

On the matches we priced in the last 30 days, Unibet's highest margins were on Bulgaria Second League (13.79%) and its lowest on Primera A (6.42%). Smaller competitions almost always carry a higher margin at every bookmaker.

How we measure this

For every match, we take each bookmaker's most recent 1X2 prices from our own odds snapshots, convert them to implied probabilities (1 divided by the odds) and sum them. A fair market sums to exactly 100%; anything above that is the bookmaker's margin — the built-in fee you pay on every bet. We average that margin across all matches the bookmaker priced in the last 30 days. Nobody pays us for placement and no affiliate deal reorders this table: it is arithmetic on captured prices, recomputed daily.

Why this matters
