What that margin costs you

At a 1.75% margin, every 100 units you stake with Matchbook carry an expected cost of 1.75 units before any skill is involved — the lowest of any bookmaker we track. Someone staking 100 units a month pays roughly 21 units a year in margin.

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.

Com mesurem això

Per a cada partit, agafem les últimes quotes 1X2 de cada casa d'apostes a partir de les nostres captures de quotes, les convertim en probabilitats implícites (1 dividit per les quotes) i les sumem. Un mercat just suma exactament 100%; qualsevol valor per sobre és el marge de la casa d'apostes — la comissió integrada que pagues a cada aposta. Fem la mitjana d'aquest marge sobre tots els partits que la casa hagi cotitzat en els últims 30 dies. Ningú ens paga per la posició i cap acord d'afiliació reordena aquesta taula: és aritmètica sobre preus capturats, recalculada diàriament.

Per què importa
