Burlington Bertie

Burlington Bertie is a slang term for the price 100/30.

How to understand the meaning of the term? It’s very simple. There are three possible outcomes for a football match: victory – 1, draw – X and win – 2. A bookmaker calculates the probability of a particular outcome to determine the odds. More than 100% there can’t be. The second number (30) means 30% probability of any of the match outcomes.

Is it advantageous to bet in this situation? Yes, it’s very profitable. This alignment guarantees higher odds for a player, because a bookmaker didn’t put a margin here.

What is a bookmaker’s margin? This is the income of a betting shop, regardless of the outcome of a match.

For example, in a match between Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk, the bookmakers gave 40% to win Dynamo and 30% for a draw and miners’ victory. We clearly see the layout of Burlington Bertie.
