What that margin costs you

At a 7.84% margin, every 100 units you stake with Betfair carry an expected cost of 7.84 units before any skill is involved. Someone staking 100 units a month pays roughly 94 units a year in margin alone — 73 units more per year than at the cheapest bookmaker we track (Matchbook, 1.75%).

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.

측정 방식

각 경기마다, 자체 배당 스냅샷에서 각 북메이커의 가장 최근 1X2 배당을 가져와 암시확률(배당의 1/값)로 변환한 뒤 합산합니다. 공정한 시장은 정확히 100%가 되며, 그 이상은 북메이커 마진입니다. 즉, 모든 베팅에 붙는 내재 수수료입니다. 이 마진을 북메이커가 최근 30일 동안 가격을 매긴 모든 경기에서 평균냅니다. 노출 비용을 받지 않으며, 제휴 계약으로 이 표의 순서가 바뀌지도 않습니다. 캡처된 가격을 산술적으로 재계산한 결과이며, 매일 다시 계산합니다.

왜 중요한가
