Probability, in the context of betting, represents the likelihood of a specific outcome occurring. TRADE360 calculates probability based on the current market odds and margin.
Probability is derived using the following formula:
Probability = 1 / (current margin * odd) = 1 / fair odd
Current margin: The margin applied to the odds by TRADE360.
Odd: The current odds for the specific outcome.
Fair odd: The theoretical odds without any margin applied.
Probability is communicated to you as part of market update messages. It is displayed next to the Price (Odd) field within the Bet object for both InPlay and PreMatch events.
When the probability field value is "-1", customers should not calculate the cash-out amount for bets under this market or line.

If there is a change in the probability of a bet due to a change in the price of another bet, even when the original bet price remains unchanged, a market update message is sent to the customer. For instance, in a 1x2 market:
If the price of bet “1” changes, affecting the probability of all bets, a market update message is sent with all bet updates:
Bet “1” with price and probability update
Bets “2” and “x” with probability updates
This approach ensures that you are always updated with the latest data.
Provider Suspensions: When a provider suspends a bet, TRADE360 cannot clean the margin for that provider if not all bets are provided by them. In such cases, the average margin from providers for the whole market (or line) is used, and the true odds are not sent.
Outright League Markets: Probability is not supported.
Correct Score/Number of Goals Markets: The probability is sent only for tennis and table tennis in these markets.
"Provider's margin Only" Markets: Probability is not supported.
Suspended or Lower Odds: If one of the market bets is equal to or lower than 1.00.
