SBO — real bookmaker margin

What that margin costs you

At a 14.61% margin, every 100 units you stake with SBO carry an expected cost of 14.61 units before any skill is involved. Someone staking 100 units a month pays roughly 175 units a year in margin alone — 155 units more per year than at the cheapest bookmaker we track (Matchbook, 1.70%).

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 SBO's real margin on 1X2 football odds?

Measured from 995 matches in the last 30 days, SBO's average 1X2 margin is 14.61%. That means the implied probabilities of its home/draw/away prices add up to about 114.6% instead of 100%; the excess is the bookmaker's built-in fee.

Hoe we dit meten

Voor elke wedstrijd nemen we de meest recente 1X2-prijzen van elke bookmaker uit onze eigen odds-snapshots, zetten die om naar impliciete kansen (1 gedeeld door de odds) en tellen ze op. Een eerlijke markt komt exact op 100% uit; alles daarboven is de marge van de bookmaker — de ingebouwde fee die je op elke bet betaalt. We middelen die marge over alle wedstrijden die de bookmaker in de afgelopen 30 dagen heeft geprijsd. Niemand betaalt ons voor plaatsing en geen affiliate-deal herschikt deze tabel: het is rekenwerk op vastgelegde prijzen, dagelijks herberekend.

Waarom dit telt

TipsAudit has no affiliate, sponsorship or advertising relationship with SBO 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.
