How it works

Implied probability of any decimal odds is 1 / odds. In a fair market, all outcomes' implied probabilities sum to 100%. Anything above 100% is the bookmaker's edge:

margin % = (sum of 1/odds − 1) × 100

For comparison: Pinnacle and Betfair Exchange typically run 2–4% on football 1X2; high-street bookies often run 6–10%.
