Knowing how to calculate your expected profit helps you make smarter betting decisions. This section explains how returns work and what factors influence your winnings.
How bet profit and return are calculated
Your total return is simply stake multiplied by the decimal odds. The net profit is the total return minus your stake. The higher the odds, the higher the potential return - but also the lower the implied probability of the bet winning.

Common mistakes bettors make

Confusing decimal odds with fractional or American formats.
Ignoring bookmaker margins and thinking the implied probability reflects true chances.
Decimal odds show the total return per unit staked, including your original stake. For example, odds of 2.10 mean a 100 stake returns 210 in total (110 profit).
Yes. You can enter the combined decimal odds for your accumulator and the total stake to see overall return and profit.
Implied probability is how likely the outcome is according to the odds. It is calculated as 1 / decimal odds. For example, odds of 2.00 represent a 50% chance.
