Matchbook math question

[Dougie Fresh]

I'm sure this is an easy question but I'm to hungover, tired and drunk to figure it out.

When using matchbook or a any other exchange how do you figure out how much to bet so that you win a whole unit, ie $100?

With my regular book I know I have to bet $110 to get a $100
If an exchange is -107, what are the real odds figuring in the commission?

I'm sure it is a simple equation.

always enter your bet and make sure the profit says for you to win $102

and if your play wins then they will take their 2% which is roughly $2
and you will win $100

To make sure you win an exact $100 after commission, divide the WIN amount by 0.98 (or multiply the risk amount by 1.02040816).

Yes, I am anal about this and need a perfectly round Matchbook balance at all times.

[Kaps]

so then you bet 102.05....

[Dougie Fresh]

So the true odds for 107 would be about -109.18?

Yes.

Thank you. One other question, is matchbook the most liquid exchange for US players?
