What is a betting margin?

A betting margin (also called edge, juice, or vigorish) is how bookmakers make a profit. It’s the difference between the true probability of an event and the odds offered.

Why it matters

• Lower margins = better value and higher potential returns.

Pinnacle averages 102% (2% margin), compared to the industry average of around 106%.
