Betting on St Patrick’s Athletic
Pats are near the top of the table this season, so favourite-and-underdog pricing matters. Say a bookmaker offers 1.90 on a Pats home win, 3.50 on the draw and 4.00 on the away win. Those prices imply chances of 52.6%, 28.6% and 25.0%, which total 106.2%, so the margin is 6.2%. A €10 bet on the draw at 3.50 returns €35.00, a €25.00 profit. The prices are illustrative, not a quote. Our guide to how betting odds work walks through the sums.
