Ticket margin

24.3% of the stake, on average, is the price of this ticket

  1. Pick 1 event margin 8.2%8.2%
  2. Pick 2 event margin 8.8%16.3%
  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.
