Hi!

I just had a look at the "Bookmaking"-Tool and the "Margin Maker":

Why can I use the "Margin Maker"-function allways on only one selection in a market??? :?:

It doesn't make any sense to me, because if you would do bookmaking you normaly lay all selections with a margin of x-%. So for example if you want to do a 110% book on the current odds in a 2 selections market you would do a 5% margin on each selection and not 10% on one and 0% on the other. Or am I wrong on that?

If it's not working within that tool, has anybody done a workaround in Excel?

Thanks

Georg

The margin maker works in conjunction with the margin box (on the right of the staking methods)

If you enter a desired % profit in that box, BA will then change the price on the 1 selection you tick in the margin maker column, in order to achieve your targeted % profit

I'm sure Peter has made a YouTube video somewhere showing this
