Default How much is 6.5%?

When I am faced with Odds of say , $4 Fixed , and say $4.20 on Betfair , I need to know which is the best Value.

What is the Formula that converts Betfair Odds into Odds after deductions?
I wish to place it in my Excel Sheet.

Try $4.20 (Betfair) x 0.935 = 3.927 ?

I see.
What was concerning me was that the 6.5% only applied to the winning portion of the Wager and did not include the initial investment.
So I was figuring maybe it wouldn't be so obvious as 0.935 times the advertised Price.

EDIT ;
Didn't see your post Raven - that sounds a little more like it , but all them brackets confuse me

Yup.

Cant believe I cocked that up,
Have been performing that little calc in my head,
Most of my adult lifetime in other markets!

Thanks raven

PS Should have recognised you over there,

Stick this in excel
Your best fixed price in cell A1
BF Fixed price in cell B1
Your current betfair percentage in cell C1
in D1 put =(((B1-1)*0.935)+1)

yeah - I'm good now thanks to raven.
But isn't the Betfair percentage the same for everyone?
Or perhaps BIG bettors get a discount.
I'm sure I don't , and I'm sure I'm not a big bettor and prolly never will be.
