Considering that we want to make a combo value bet against pinny, where the pinny odds look like :
match odd margin
1 a X
2 b Y
the question is what margins do we have to take into consideration if we want a value combo bet between these 2 selections. X x Y? X + Y ? (X + Y)/2 ?
Thanks.

Re: Margins to consider in COMBO/MULTI
It depends on what you mean by margin.
Generally: With decimal odds a, the impied probability is 1/a. So for a combo bet for two independent games, you should expect odds of 1/( (1/a) * (1/b) ).
Do that for the fair odds (no margin) and by comparing with the actual odds you can evaluate your edge in the combo bet.
