What that margin costs you

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%).

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.

我们如何测算

对每场比赛,我们取每家博彩公司在我们赔率快照中最新的 1X2 赔率,换算为隐含概率(1 除以赔率)并求和。公平市场的总和应正好为 100%;超出的部分就是博彩公司抽水——你每次下注都要支付的内置费用。我们将该抽水率按这家博彩公司在过去 30 天内定价的所有比赛取平均。没有人付费要求我们排序,也没有联盟合作改变此表:这只是对抓取到的赔率做算术,并每日重新计算。
