Margin

Overview

TRADE360 offers Manual Margin – Allows full control over how margins are applied to odds, giving you direct control over pricing.

Multi-Applicative Formula

TRADE360 applies margins using a multi-applicative formula, ensuring consistent proportional adjustments across all bet prices. Instead of applying a simple linear addition, the system scales the fair price dynamically, maintaining a balanced market probability.

The multi-applicative formula ensures that the applied margin scales proportionally based on fair odds rather than adding a fixed value. This prevents distortions in the probability distribution of bets while keeping pricing consistent.

Manual Margin Calculation

The Manual Margin option allows direct control over how odds are adjusted, giving you full flexibility in setting margins.

Manual Margin Settings

Margin set as "0" → The output will be Fair Odds. You will receive the average of fair prices calculated from provider odds, ensuring a total market probability of 100%.
Margin set as greater than "0" → The output will be Fair Odds + Margin. TRADE360 will manually set a margin for the fair price calculation, adjusting the final odds accordingly.

Manual Margin Calculation Formulas

Start with Raw Provider Odds - TRADE360 collects the original odds from all providers.
Calculate Fair Odds (Remove Provider Margins) - TRADE360 removes the providers’ built-in margins and calculates the true fair odds based on probability.
1. Fair Price Formula (Margin Cleaning):
  - $\text{Bet Fair Price} = \text{Bet Current Price} \times \left( \sum \frac{1}{\text{Bet Price of all market bets}} \right)$
  - Example for 1X2 market: $\text{Fair Price}_{1} = \text{Price}_{1} \times \left( \frac{1}{\text{Price}_{1}} + \frac{1}{\text{Price}_{X}} + \frac{1}{\text{Price}_{2}} \right)$
Apply the User-Defined Margin
- TRADE360 applies it to the fair price using this formula:
  - $\text{Bet Price (with margin)} = \text{Fair Price} \times \frac{100}{100 + \text{Margin (\%)}}$
  - Example: 1X2 market with a 5% margin $\text{Price}_{1\text{(with margin)}} = \text{Fair Price}_{1} \times \frac{100}{105}$
Final Odds Are Sent to You
- Once the margin is applied, the final adjusted odds are sent for use in your betting markets. However, several factors can further influence the final odds beyond just the margin calculation:
  - Rounding Rules: The adjusted odds are rounded appropriately based on predefined rounding logic, which may slightly alter the effective margin.
  - Odds Ladder: If an Odds Ladder is enabled, the odds will be adjusted to fit within the predefined ladder steps, potentially modifying the final odds.
  - Min/Max Limits: If minimum and maximum odds constraints are set and “Keep Price in Range” is enabled, the odds will be adjusted to remain within the allowed range.
  Since these factors can all affect the final odds, the actual margin applied may differ slightly from the calculated margin due to these post-processing adjustments.
- The adjusted odds are rounded appropriately and sent for use in your betting markets.

Manual Margin Special Use Cases

Margin Application for Open Bets Only

The manual margin can only be applied if all provided bets in the market are open.
If some bets are suspended, TRADE360 cannot fully clean and reapply the margin.
For multiple bets market families (e.g., Correct Score, Number Of Goals, Highest Scoring Period, Correct Number Double Digit),
- TRADE360 will calculate the margin only using the available open bets.
- Suspended bets are excluded from the calculation.

Double Chance Markets

In double chance markets, the total probability is 200% instead of 100% (as in other markets).
Therefore, both margin removal and margin application are multiplied by 2 to ensure accurate calculations.

Margin = 0 Setting: Handling Suspended Bets

If the manual margin is set to 0 and a bet is suspended, TRADE360 will:
1. Calculate the average odds of the remaining active bets.
2. Remove the margin from this adjusted average to ensure the final odds remain fair.
This ensures you still receive fair odds without any added margin despite provider suspensions.
