	lfcforever  +  610 Tue, 22 Jul 08 09:57 PM It depends on a few factors. First of all it depends on the scale of the event. More competitive events and markets drive the overround percentage down. Next the companies client base plays an important part. If a company has customers that are not particularly price sensitive then there is a less need to be competitive. What I do is go to an odds comparison site and add up the percentages to see who is the most competitive. Usually the smaller firms and independents are the most competitive but the chances of getting a decent sized bet are difficult. lfcforever Joined on 06-12-2008 55 You'll never walk alone

	toogood  +  704 Thu, 24 Jul 08 11:59 PM It's usually about 10%. Larger leagues drives the overround down as lfc said. I'd say big soccer matches you can find bookies priced up at 105% toogood Joined on 05-22-2008 57

Firms usually start out betting to tight margins then loosen up closer to the event to try and get early money on events. It's not uncommon to see the major leagues priced up early to 104-105%. chris Joined on 05-05-2008 84
