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.

Hogyan mérjük ezt

Minden mérkőzésnél az egyes bukmékerek legfrissebb 1X2 árait vesszük a saját odds-pillanatképeinkből, átváltjuk őket implikált valószínűségekké (1 osztva az oddsszal), majd összegezzük. A tiszta piac pontosan 100%-ot ad ki; az efelett lévő rész a bukméker marginja — a beépített díj, amit minden fogadásnál megfizetsz. Ezt a marginjátlagot minden olyan meccsre kiszámoljuk, amelyet a bukméker az elmúlt 30 napban árazott. Senki nem fizet nekünk a helyezésért, és semmilyen partneri megállapodás nem rendezi át ezt a táblát: ez a rögzített árakból számolt matematika, naponta újraszámolva.
