What GoldEdge does with TAB

|---|---|
| Value bets | Yes |
| Arbitrage | No |
| Horse racing | Yes, with each-way terms |
| Sports | Football, tennis, basketball, horse racing |
- Its prices feed value bets, the odds pages, dropping odds and the horse racing pages; like every Australian bookmaker GoldEdge covers, it is not used as an arbitrage leg.
- Its in-play prices feed the live board, and value bets taken there settle automatically.
- TAB writes tennis players as a surname and an initial ("Wazny A"); they are paired with the full names the other books use.

What is TAB's margin?
On upcoming matches it prices, TAB's average main-market margin is 9.3% in football, 7.9% in tennis, 7.7% in basketball. The margin is the amount the implied probabilities of a market's outcomes add up to beyond 100%.
Can you find value bets at TAB?
Yes, when one exists: GoldEdge flags any TAB price that pays more than Pinnacle's fair price (its odds with the margin removed), with the edge and a stake size. A value bet is an edge over many bets, not a prediction about one.
Is TAB used for arbitrage on GoldEdge?
No. TAB is priced for value bets, odds comparison and dropping odds, but GoldEdge does not use it as an arbitrage leg — nor any of the UK or Australian sportsbooks, or any US sportsbook but BetMGM.
