Markets & lines

Winning margin

A market on how much a team wins by, priced in bands rather than a single spread — often offered as a 7-way or 12-way market (e.g. “win by 1–6,” “win by 7–12,” each side, plus the draw where relevant). More outcomes means a larger combined margin for the book.

Winning-margin markets carry noticeably more hold than the plain spread covering the same game, because every additional band is another priced outcome. They're entertaining, and they're expensive.
