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.
