Additive method subtracts the whole overround from every outcome · case 02

Additive fair probabilities sum to well below one.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Remove the bookmaker margin from decimal prices (implied p = 1/d, book = sum p > 1 assumed). multiplicative: p / book. additive: p - (book - 1) / n; if any result is negative return "additive infeasible". power: p ** k with k found by 60 bisection steps on [1, 10] so that the powered probabilities sum to 1 (k = midpoint of the final bracket). Any other method returns "invalid method". Return the fair probabilities formatted "%.4f".

Why this case matters

Pricing models strip margins differently; favourite-longshot bias makes the method matter.
