We measure the margin Betfair actually builds into its 1X2 football prices — not the one it advertises. 2,239 matches in the last 30 days, every price taken from our own odds snapshots. We have no commercial relationship with Betfair or any other bookmaker.

At a 7.79% margin, every 100 units you stake with Betfair carry an expected cost of 7.79 units before any skill is involved. Someone staking 100 units a month pays roughly 93 units a year in margin alone — 73 units more per year than at the cheapest bookmaker we track (Matchbook, 1.73%).
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.
Margin by competition, last 30 days, leagues with at least 20 priced matches. 'Market avg' is the average margin of all bookmakers we track on that league — how Betfair compares to its peers, not just to itself.

Measured from 2,239 matches in the last 30 days, Betfair's average 1X2 margin is 7.79%. That means the implied probabilities of its home/draw/away prices add up to about 107.8% instead of 100%; the excess is the bookmaker's built-in fee.
Betfair's margin of 7.79% is 1.32 percentage points above the sharp benchmark's 6.47% over the same matches. Among the 35 bookmakers we track with enough data, Betfair ranks #15; the cheapest is Matchbook at 1.73%.
On the matches we priced in the last 30 days, Betfair's highest margins were on China League Two (11.48%) and its lowest on Championship (1.01%). Smaller competitions almost always carry a higher margin at every bookmaker.
For hver kamp tar vi hver bookmakers nyeste 1X2-priser fra våre egne odds-snapshots, konverterer dem til implisitte sannsynligheter (1 delt på oddsen) og summerer dem. Et rettferdig marked summerer til nøyaktig 100%; alt over dette er bookmakerens margin — den innebygde avgiften du betaler på hvert bet. Vi beregner snittet av den marginen på tvers av alle kampene bookmakeren priset de siste 30 dagene. Ingen betaler oss for plassering, og ingen affiliate-avtale omorganiserer denne tabellen: dette er aritmetikk på innsamlede priser, beregnet på nytt daglig.
