Cum măsurăm asta

Pentru fiecare meci, luăm cele mai recente cote 1X2 ale fiecărui bookmaker din propriile noastre capturi de cote, le convertim în probabilități implicite (1 împărțit la cote) și le adunăm. O piață corectă însumează exact 100%; orice peste acest nivel este marja bookmakerului — taxa inclusă pe care o plătești la fiecare pariu. Facem media acestei marje pe toate meciurile cotate de bookmaker în ultimele 30 de zile. Nimeni nu ne plătește pentru poziționare și niciun acord de afiliere nu reordonează acest tabel: este aritmetică pe prețuri capturate, recalculate zilnic.
