Can someone tell me the % profit in green under betfair results for BSP against ISP includes the 5% comm
or do you have to take another 5% of that price?

I'm confused - as the % difference dont seem to calculate so how do they do it


latest race example - surely a 25% uplift = 3.0 not 2.84, any clues ...

In response to the OP, yes, 5% commission is factored in to the percentage figure when BSP is compared to ISP.

Deltâ

In your example the 25% figure has been rounded up,it's actually 24.86%.

Just plug the BSP and ISP figures, 2.84 and 2.4 in to a spreadsheet in cells A1 and A2 respectively.

In cell A3 copy and paste the formula below...

=(((A2-1)*0.95)-(B2-1))/(B2-1)

Sorry, should have mentioned....

Format cell A3 for 'Percent', two decimal places.
