      How Wagering Works<\/h2>\n

      Exchange betting involves matching back and lay bets at chosen odds. The platform acts as a marketplace, taking a small commission on net winnings. Understanding the math is key to successful wagering.<\/p>\n

      For example, suppose you back a horse at odds of 4.0 with a stake of AUD 50. If the horse wins, your profit is (4.0 – 1) \u00d7 50 = AUD 150. The commission is typically 5% on net winnings. So your actual profit = 150 \u00d7 (1 – 0.05) = AUD 142.50. If you instead lay the same horse at odds of 4.0, your liability is (4.0 – 1) \u00d7 50 = AUD 150, meaning you risk 150 to win the backer’s stake of 50. After commission on the 50 profit (if the horse loses), you keep 50 \u00d7 0.95 = AUD 47.50.<\/p>\n
