Winnings

Below, you can find the full list of free betting calculators we offer. Simple to use, effective, and essential. Betting Calculators should be one of the go-to tools for any serious punter looking to turn a profit.

Odds are the thing that keeps betting alive. Get favourable odds, and you have “a win in your hands”; anything else translates to a loss. Still, how do you get odds that help you turn a profit? Well, we have got just the thing for you—a bet calculator.

A bet calculator is the tool/companion you need whenever you place a bet. This tool is a no-brainer (easy to use) and lets you know how much you can win if you were to place your bet as is. A good bet calculator will have all kinds of bet types and conditions to ensure you always have a bet that will win.

Whether you’re placing single bets, accumulators, or any other kind of bet, you can use our bet calculator to know how much you stand to win.

Using The Bet Calculator

Enough with the overselling; it is time to show you how the bet calculator works. Using the calculator is quite easy.

To get started, you only need to key in the stake (amount) you wish to wager, select the bet types, and fill in the odds, and the bet calculator does its magic, populating the rest of the empty fields to give you the potential win from your bet.

That is to say; you don’t need to be a tech wizard to get our bet calculator to work for you. All you need is to have your inputs bang on, and you are good to go.

Let’s use a basic bet where you place a single bet. You would need to fill in the following two fields to get your potential win, and the calculator will do the rest for you:

Enter the bet amount
Select “single bet” or “Accumulator” from the drop-down list
Then, fill in your odds, whether American, decimal, or fractional

With this information keyed in, you then get the amount you expect to receive if your bet is a winner. From Acca to single bets, the bet calculator lets you know how much you stand to win, no matter what kind of bet you pick.

Understanding Betting Odds

Before placing your bet, it is essential to know (find out) a few things. The first is the difference between implied odds and true odds but also the type of odds you may come across.

Implied Odds

The difference between implied and true odds is the key to determining whether your bet has value. Implied odds refer to the conversion of the odds offered by a bookmaker into the implied win. For example, if a football match has odds of 3/2 (or 2.50 in decimal odds) for a team to win, the implied probability of them winning is 40%.

With this probability, we factor in the bookie’s margin, which is how the bookmaker profits from your bets. The implied odds for a particular market (say, a home win, draw, away win, or goal/no-goal market) will typically add up to more than 100%. The extra percentage ensures that the bookmaker profits no matter the outcome.

True Odds

True odds refer to the likelihood of a certain outcome happening, based on your assessment. For instance, if you analyse a football match and believe a team has a 40% chance of winning, that’s your estimation of the true odds; you would need the true odds to be as close as possible to the implied odds.

You know you are on the right path when your true odds are just the same or higher than implied odds. The thing here is how you find true odds—true odds are subjective. There is no such thing as concrete “true odds” for any outcome a bettor picks.

True odds represent a bettor’s assessment after analysis and research. You have to interpret various factors such as player morale, injuries, and home team advantage to come up with true odds. It also includes subjective judgement of the outcome. It all depends on what the bettor knows about the event in question and what result they anticipate after analysis.

You can, however, come close to true odds using predictive models where you consider factors like handicapping. A good bet would have true odds that are greater than implied odds. That is a bet you should highly consider taking.

Decimal Odds

Decimal odds represent the total return on any bet placed, including what you risked for every pound you staked. They are widely used around the globe, primarily because they are easier to understand than fractions and they also provide more betting options.

You may see prices like 4/7 or 8/13 and wonder which is the biggest price. Even if you are a regular bettor and are very familiar with betting fractions, it still may a little while to work this out. However, in this scenario, you would immediately recognise that 1.61 is bigger than 1.57.

Calculating decimal odds is also straightforward. All you need to do is multiply by the decimal odds and you are done. The biggest reason a lot of people use decimal odds is because the conversion to probabilities is so simple. The same applies if you are working out who is the underdog and the favourite. Also, it never does you any harm to have a grasp on all the different types of odds so you can work out your returns accurately.

Bet Slip vs Bet Calculator

The bet slip and bet calculators are almost similar but have different functions. The bet slip is the final step in placing a bet; it shows the picks you have made and the bet you are about to place. Adding selections to your bet slip indicates that you wish to wager on the picks you have made.

With the bet calculator, you only have to fill in your stake, bet type, and odds to see what winning you stand to get. In its barebones form, it is an indispensable tool for all your planning, analysis, and assessment of the potential value of your bet before committing to it. The calculator does not fix your bet as you make your picks like a bet slip would. It is the tool you use before you make selections that end up on the bet slip.

Why Use Our Bet Calculator?

At its most basic form, the bet calculator will have you comprehend the implications that come with your wager. It ultimately tells you what you stand to win when your bet is a winner. The tool works well when you use it just before you place your bet.

Betting sites often have caveats to markets that often muddle the odds and potential winnings for a particular bet. A bet calculator would show you all the bottlenecks that keep you from getting the win you anticipate. With a good bet calculator, you’re able to see what combination of picks works best for you.

It also helps you determine which bookie to place your bets with so that you get the most winnings. You can use our calculators to work out any returns and you can maximise these by combining them with a free bet from one of the bookmakers too.
