About Pivot

What Pivot is, and isn’t

• It compares prices. It doesn’t take bets, hold money or have accounts.
• It isn’t affiliated with any bookmaker and isn’t paid when you visit one.
• It doesn’t tell you what to bet on. Nothing here is a tip or a recommendation.

What the numbers mean

Implied chance

The chance a price suggests: 100 ÷ the price. Odds of 2.00 imply 50%; 4.00 implies 25%.

Bookie’s cut (margin)

Add up a bookmaker’s implied chances for every outcome and you get more than 100%, say 105%. The extra is their built-in cut.

Fair price

The price with each bookmaker’s cut taken out, averaged across the bookmakers you’ve selected. An estimate of what the price would be if nobody took a cut.

+% above fair

How far one bookmaker’s price sits above that fair estimate.

Under 100%

Rarely, the best prices across different bookmakers add up to less than 100%. It’s usually a short-lived gap or a delay in the data.

What they don’t mean

• Odds are bookmakers’ prices, not predictions. A price above fair isn’t more likely to win.
• Because of their margins, bookmakers come out ahead over time. On average, betting costs money.
• Prices change quickly and can lag what the bookmaker shows. Always check with them directly.
