Betfair true price calculator

Betfair takes commission from your winnings, so the price on the screen isn't what you really get. Work out the lowest price worth taking, or check whether the price in front of you has an edge.

Rule of thumb: if the edge is under your target, skip the bet or leave an unmatched bet at your price and let the market come to you.

How the maths works

Fair odds are 100 ÷ chance. A 45% chance is fair at 2.22.

Add your edge: 2.22 × 1.05 = 2.33. That's what you need to receive.

Betfair only takes commission from the profit, so the price you ask for is 1 + (2.33 − 1) ÷ (1 − 0.08) = 2.45.

Where does the chance come from?

That's the hard part. A gut feel won't cut it. PunterPrice works it out from the sharpest markets and Betfair's own form ratings, for every horse and every Over 2.5 goals game, then gives you this price automatically.
