okay, I found these 2 links where they explain how to calculate commission. https://www.matchbook.com/page/getting_ ... calculated
https://www.matchbook.com/page/getting_ ... nischarged

it looks very inconsistent and confusing. I get the part where they say it's either 1.5% or 0.75% depending on if you took an offer or offered your own odds. also, commission on back bet looks simple enough and consistent. but lay commission is where they lost me.

from the second link where from the image it looks like they lay bilbao with a stake of 10, if the bet is winning they should pay 0.15 and if it's losing then 1.5%*minimum(stake=10, potential profit = 10), which is again 0.15. in general, commission on a lay bet should be the same regardless if it won or lost because stake is always equal to potential profit with a lay bet. they did it that way with Cagliari-Torino in the first link where it's both 0.15. but they fucked it up again in the second example with 0.75% commission where both should be 0.08
