Betting markets
How each market settles and how often it lands: 1X2, double chance, handicaps, over/under, BTTS and correct score.
How the three-way match result market settles, and why the draw, seen in 26.1% of 301,000 league matches, always counts.
Two of three results in one bet: how 1X, X2 and 12 settle, and why in-play 1X on a side a goal up at half-time landed 89.8% of the time.
How half, whole and quarter lines settle, how often they push in 31,433 matches, how big favourites win and what the margin costs.
What over and under mean, how the 2.5, 2.0 and 2.25 lines settle and how often over 2.5 goals landed in 216,000 matches (50.1%).
A draw refunds the full stake: how DNB settles, why it equals Asian handicap 0 and why a DNB built from 1X2 prices carries a 4.87% margin.
How BTTS yes and no settle, why 4-0 loses and 1-1 wins, where odds of 1.90 break even (52.6%) and how BTTS links to over/under.
How a correct score bet settles, why even the likeliest score has only a 12.2% chance and how to split one stake across several scores.
Over/under on one team's goals: how half, whole and quarter lines settle, and why £100 on over 1.25 at 1.90 pays −£50 or +£90.
