The profit margin is a term from the business. It is the factor, by which the employment of the weather is multiplied with a won bet and which thereby the amount which can be disbursed to it determines.

In principle between firm and variable profit margin one differentiates. With the firm profit margin the bookmaker gives the ratio, for which he offers a bet. The player and the bookmaker bets thus against each other. The employment falls with lost bet to the bookmaker and with a profit disburses the bookmaker the bet. In contrast to it with the variable profit margin against each other and a totalizer appears to bets the weather as a mediator between them.

With the variant with the variable profit margins not the entire pools, but only a certain percentage of under 50% are again paid off with national offerers up to more than 70% with horse running meetings. The operator of the totalizer and the licenser for the business can so always to bets earn, without participating even directly to bets and thus without the risk of a lost bet.
