What is bookmaker margin?

Bookmaker margin represents the built-in advantage sportsbooks have over bettors. It is calculated from the implied probabilities of all outcomes in a market. Lower margins generally mean better odds and better long-term value.

For example, sharp bookmakers and exchanges often operate with margins around 2–4%, while recreational sportsbooks may run margins above 6% or even higher in smaller markets.

The margins shown here are based on sampled betting markets and provide a practical comparison between bookmakers rather than theoretical pricing.
