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
