Margin is the built-in edge on turnover. We estimate cost as turnover × margin — a simple, transparent model, not an exact loss figure.

The maths, in the open
# cost of the built-in edge over a month
monthly_cost = turnover × margin%
# what tighter pricing saves you
monthly_saving = turnover × (book% − exch%)
annual_saving = monthly_saving × 12
This is a simplified educational model. Real cost depends on which markets you bet, how often you win, and each operator's exact pricing — but the direction is always the same: lower margin, more value retained.
Why margin matters
- Margin is charged on turnover, not just losses — so it compounds with volume.
- A few percent looks tiny per bet but grows large across a year of activity.
- Pair this with the Fairness Checker to spot the tighter price bet by bet.
Figures are illustrative estimates for education only — not a promise of savings, profit or returns. Lower margins reduce cost; they do not make betting profitable. Only stake what you can afford to lose.
