So for example if the market were +200/-220 the theoretical hold would be 1 - 1/ (100/300 + 220/320) ≈ 2.041%.
This works for multi-way markets, too. For example, if the market were -150/+340/+400, the theoretical hold would be 1 - 1/(150/250 + 100/440 +100/500) ≈ 2.655%. |
Mother of god I have no idea what your talking about... One thing is for certain though the i'm mad I deleted my calculator link!
