Affiliate disclosure. The partner link in the masthead and in the band beside the copy on this page is a sponsored link to a partner operator, and this site may be paid if you open an account through it, at no extra cost to you. It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab. A desk about the price of a market a customer asks for should not leave its own funding unsaid: one link funds the site, no operator and no market is named, rated or recommended anywhere on it, and the site carries no affiliate ranking of any kind.

What this desk is, and what it is not

About this desk

One topic, covered once: the market that does not exist until a customer asks for it, and the arithmetic that decides what comes back. This page says how the figures were made, what the desk refuses to do, and how it sits beside the rest of the series.

the composed priceThe number returned for a set of outcomes the customer named. It is not the product of the legs: on the samples 5.60 multiplies and 4.80 is offered, because the legs happen together more often than independence implies.
the requestA customer asking an operator to invent a market. 500 arrived in the sample month, 218 produced a price, 131 could not be priced at all, and the median answer took 3 hours 40 minutes.
the void legA leg that never happens, repaired by re-pricing the combination from its remaining legs. Dividing the price by the void leg gives 4.50 where the real three-leg price is 4.80 - a 6.7% error.
Direct answer

This desk explains how a composed market - a same-event combination or a bespoke market priced on request - is built, priced, refused and repaired. Every figure derives from ten invented samples and no real operator, sport, player, market or terms page is described. It is 1 of 76 desks in a series that each take one mechanism and explain it.

How the figures were produced

Ten samples were defined first, on the overview page, and every other number on the site is derived from them: a three-leg combination, a month of requests, a set of combination rules, a void leg, the limits, a set of terms pages, a month of turnover, a queue cost, the refusal reasons and a model band. Nothing is quoted from a live operator, and nothing is observed. Where a figure could be read two ways - the difference between a composed price and the product of its legs, for example - it is presented both ways and the arithmetic is shown so a reader can re-derive it.

what the desk leaves out, deliberately no rankings, no "best" market, no recommendation = out of scope no picks, tips or predictions = out of scope no advice on evading a limit or a control = out of scope no method for creating more than one account = out of scope no named operator, sport, player, match or platform = out of scope the desk explains a mechanism; it does not advise on whether to use it, and problem-gambling questions are routed to support rather than answered here.

What this desk is not

It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for the terms of any account. It is not a complaint service: the routes for a dispute are a separate desk in the series. And it is not a guide to composing a market more cleverly - the figures on it are the operator's arithmetic, published so a reader can recognise what they are being shown rather than to help anyone find an edge.

Five things this desk does, in order
  1. Defines ten invented samples, with every count and price, on the overview page.
  2. Derives from them the relationship between the product of a set of legs and the joint chance the model measures.
  3. Follows a request from the queue to the answer, and counts what happens to it.
  4. Tests what the terms of a composed market actually state, against the rules a reader needs.
  5. Puts one month of those markets through the arithmetic, so the price in the product can be read against the cost of producing it.
Eight pages carry the argument
The combination - what a composed market is, and who may ask for one.
The price of legs - why the number is not the product, and what the gap is worth.
The model - single chances, pairs, joint states and the width of the answer.
The requests - the queue, the timings and what answering costs.
What may be combined - forty rules, and the seven refusals.
The void leg - the repair, and the division error it invites.
The limits - legs, payable price and the ceiling that bites first.
The record - what the terms state, counted.
Five things to take away
  • The price of a composed market is a joint chance, not a product, and the difference is not a fee.
  • A request is a question with five possible endings, and more than half end without a usable price.
  • A void leg is re-priced from the remaining legs, and dividing is wrong by 6.7% on the samples.
  • The stake limit on a long combination is the payout ceiling divided by the price, not the number in the box.
  • Keep your own record: the operator's request log is not published, and 11.0% of accepted markets are never published either.
