With the margin taken out: 8.1%, about 1 in 12. So roughly 8 of 100 tickets like this would win. Picks are treated as independent.
Ticket margin
24.3% of the stake, on average, is the price of this ticket
- Pick 1 event margin 8.2%8.2%
- Pick 2 event margin 8.8%16.3%
- Pick 3 event margin 9.5%24.3%
The margin grows with every pick: each one multiplies in its own event margin.
How it is calculated
- Payout = stake × the prices of all picks multiplied: $10.00 × 2.10 × 1.85 × 2.40 = $93.24.
- A void pick drops out: it counts as 1.00.
- Chance from the prices = 1 ÷ total odds. Fair chance of a pick = (1 ÷ its price) ÷ the sum of 1 ÷ price over all outcomes of its event.
- Ticket margin = 1 − total odds × fair chance of the ticket.
