Margin Calculator
Sharp bettors will be aware of what a margin is and how to work it out but for those that don’t, it is essentially what a bookmaker charges you for placing a bet. The odds offered by a bookmaker aren’t a reflection of the true probability, the bookmaker will inflate the probability, which decreases the odds you receive. The difference between the real and bookmaker probability is referred to as the margin.
If you don’t know how to work out a bookmaker’s margin, using Pinnacle’s Margin Calculator is the easiest way to calculate the probability and margin for any two-way or three-way bet. Compare our margins to other bookmakers and understand why serious bettors bet with Pinnacle.
Arbitrage Calculator
Arbitrage betting exploits the opportunity to place proportionate bets on each outcome of the same event with differing bookmakers so that a profit is guaranteed regardless of the outcome.
Bettors who regularly Arbitrage odds across different bookmakers know the risk of being banned or restricted because, to other bookmakers, their behaviour is frowned upon.
Pinnacle is different to other bookmakers when it comes to Arbitrage. Not only does Pinnacle welcome arbitrage bettors, we educate customers about Arbitrage and offer an Arbitrage Calculator to help bettors work out potential Arbitrage betting opportunities.
Calculating Expected Value
Being able to calculate Expected Value is often cited as the most important component of making money from betting - this is because it tells bettors how much they can expect to win from a bet.
How to calculate Expected Value:
(Probability of winning) x (Amount won per bet) – (Probability of losing) x (Amount lost per bet)
