How netting works

Without netting

Commission is charged on each winning bet.

  • Bet 1 wins €500 → €15 commission (3%)
  • Bet 2 wins €300 → €9 commission (3%)
  • Bet 3 loses −€200 → €0 commission

€24 commission on €600 net profit

With netting

Commission is charged on net profit per outcome.

  • Outcome: €500 + €300 − €200 = €600 net
  • Commission charged once: €600 × 3% = €18
