The Price Tag / the label
what a label names
The printed number and the reachable number
A label is a small piece of writing that names one number and hides another behind conditions. This page defines the two figures, says which words separate them, and shows where the 1,200 sampled labels sat.

the printed figureWhat the label names on its face. Across 1,200 sampled labels the headlines averaged 405.00 and summed to 486,000.00.
the reachable figureWhat remains after the conditions are met at the named weighting. Reachable averaged 82.83 and summed to 99,400.00, about 4.9 times less than printed.
the paid figureWhat left the account. Of the 99,400.00 reachable, 61,200.00 was withdrawn, so a label pays 12.6% of the number it names.
Direct answer
The printed number is the headline on the face of the offer. The reachable number is what is left after the qualifying conditions have been met at the game weighting the offer specifies. Of 1,200 sampled labels, 640 named a headline that could not be reached at the minimum deposit at all.
The words that separate the two figures
| word | what it decides | effect on the sum |
|---|---|---|
| minimum | the stake below which the offer does not open | a headline above the minimum ceiling is unreachable |
| wagering | the multiple of credit that must be staked | sets the turnover bill before the credit is money |
| weighting | the share of each stake that counts | a 50% weighting doubles the turnover required |
| expiry | the time the conditions must be met inside | an unmet condition forfeits the credit |
| printed mean against reachable mean | 405.00 / 82.83 | |
the same 405.00 headline, three labels
label 1 no conditions
printed 405.00 reachable 405.00 ratio 1.0x
label 2 35x, 100% weighting, 30 days
printed 405.00 reachable 82.83 ratio 4.9x
label 3 35x, 50% weighting, 7 days
turnover doubles, clock halves
printed 405.00 reachable 41.42 ratio 9.8x
The ratio is the whole desk in one number: a label that prints 405.00 and reaches 82.83 asks for five units of stake for every one it can pay.
