In this example, we apportion the stakes to favour the outcome of
Livorno winning by 2 goals:
Sampdoria (+2): $77.00 | Livorno (-1.5): $22.00 | Livorno (-2.5): $1.00
LIVORNO 0 0
WINS BY $100.10 $100.10
1 GOAL
LIVORNO 0
WINS BY $77.00 $92.40 $169.40
2 GOALS
LIVORNO 0 $92.40 $8
WINS BY $100.10
MORE THAN
2 GOALS
Notice that all possible outcomes are covered without any risk. Your total
investment in the trade is 100 and you stand to make back 169.40 if the
result is Livorno wins by 2 goals.
