Cost
Across 288 two-sided player-prop markets Smarkets currently prices, the two sides add up to about 8.42% above a fair 100% — that gap is Smarkets's hold. One-sided markets are excluded from this figure because there is no second price to add against the first.
Smarkets's margin sits inside the two prices rather than arriving as a separate charge, so it is paid on every bet whether that bet wins or loses. The hold measured below is what that costs on the props Smarkets is quoting right now — add both sides' implied probabilities together and the amount past 100% is the margin on that market.
