Matchbook — real bookmaker margin

What that margin costs you

At a 1.73% margin, every 100 units you stake with Matchbook carry an expected cost of 1.73 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.

Come lo misuriamo

Per ogni partita, prendiamo i prezzi 1X2 più recenti di ogni bookmaker dai nostri snapshot quote, li convertiamo in probabilità implicite (1 diviso le quote) e le sommiamo. Un mercato corretto somma esattamente 100%; tutto ciò che va oltre è il margine del bookmaker — la commissione incorporata che paghi su ogni bet. Facciamo la media di quel margine su tutte le partite quotate dal bookmaker negli ultimi 30 giorni. Nessuno ci paga per il posizionamento e nessun accordo affiliate riordina questa tabella: è aritmetica sui prezzi acquisiti, ricalcolata ogni giorno.

Perché conta

TipsAudit has no affiliate, sponsorship or advertising relationship with Matchbook or with any bookmaker. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to open an account anywhere; it is a measurement of what the prices cost.
