One specific feature of Betting Exchanges like Boro Jeet is the Commission.
Since the exchange is not betting against you, they don't care if you win or lose. They make money by charging a small fee on Net Winnings.
How Commission Works
Commission is calculated only on your Net Profit from a market.
You DO NOT pay commission on losing bets.
Formula:
$$ \text{Commission Paid} = \text{Net Profit} \times \text{Commission Rate %} $$
Example:
- Bet: Back India
- Stake: 1000 BDT
- Profit: 1000 BDT
- Commission Rate: 3%
$$ \text{Fee} = 1000 \times 0.03 = 30 \text{ BDT} $$
Total Pocketed: 970 BDT.
The Hidden Cost of Sportsbooks (The Margin)
New players often complain about paying commission. "Why should I pay 3% of my winnings?"
But they forget that Sportsbooks charge a hidden fee called the Vig or Overround, which is built into the odds.
| Type | Fee Structure | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange | Visible Commission on Wins | 2% - 5% of Profit |
| Sportsbook | Hidden Margin in Odds | 8% - 10% of Every Bet |
Real Numbers:
- Exchange: Odds 2.00. Win 1000 -> Pay 30. Net: +970.
- Sportsbook: Odds 1.90 (Hidden margin). Win 900. Net: +900.
Verdict: You make 70 BDT more on the Exchange, even after paying commission.
