About this desk
The Better Price is desk 87 of a series, and it covers one subject: the uplifted price - the offer that quotes better odds than the market on a selection, together with the cap, the arithmetic and the conditions that decide what it is worth.

This desk describes one mechanism - the uplifted price - using ten invented samples and the arithmetic they produce. It names no operator and prices no offer, it is funded by a single disclosed sponsored link, and it gives no advice on whether to take any offer.
What this desk is
A narrow reference on a single subject, written to be checked rather than trusted: the price that is better than the market, how it is quoted, capped, reverted and settled. Every page opens with a direct answer, then shows the arithmetic in steps small enough to re-derive.
The object is specific on purpose. There are desks in this series on what odds and margins mean, on the price quoted to one account, and on the label a promotion prints. None of them prices a modified price, which is what a boost is: the same selection at a number the operator has chosen to improve.
How it is funded, and what that means
One disclosed sponsored link to a partner operator funds the desk. It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab, and the disclosure is printed above the copy on every page. No operator is named, rated or recommended anywhere on the site, and no offer is priced.
- No rankings, no best-of lists and no operator names.
- No tips, picks or predictions, and no claim that any selection will win.
- No financial, legal or tax advice, for any jurisdiction.
- No claim about any real operator, market, team or person.
- No advice on whether to take an offer, ever.
How the figures were produced
Ten samples were invented and defined first, then every figure anywhere on the site was derived from them by the five arithmetic steps set out on every figure in one place. The samples are published in full on the overview, and the derivation of each figure is shown beside it. A reader can reproduce every number on the desk from the two prices of an offer alone.
Because the samples are invented, nothing on the desk describes a real offer. The figures are illustrative and are labelled so wherever they appear.
