Payout Matrix

Q: What is a payout matrix?

A: A payout matrix is the core table created after football betting rules are converted into numbers.

Rows are betting legs. Columns are score states. Each cell says how that leg settles under that score.

Example:

Bet Type 0:0 0:1 1:0 1:1 2:1
ML Home 0 0 200 0 200
ML Draw 200 0 0 200 0
ML Away 0 200 0 0 0
Over 2.5 0 0 0 0 200
Under 2.5 200 200 200 200 0

The numbers are rule codes, not odds:

Code Meaning
0 Full loss
50 Half loss
100 Push
150 Half win
200 Full win

The payout matrix answers the rule question first:

Does this group of legs cover all score states?

Only after that do real odds enter and convert rule codes into return multipliers.
