How To Use The 2up Betting Calculator
1) In the first box enter the Back Odds for team to Win. This is the odds on the Bookmaker offering the 2up, and you will need to enter it in decimal form (e.g. 4.0 instead of 3/1). You can use the odds converter to the left of the calculator if you need to get the decimal odds.
2) Next enter the Lay Odds, this is the Odds on the Exchange, we typically use Smarkets to lay our bets and it should already be in decimal form.
3) Now enter the Back Stake that you are placing on the Bookmaker with the 2up Promotion. This may be limited by the bookmaker as they do have stake limits for special offers such as 2up's and Price Boosts.
4) Finally, you need to enter the Lay Commission. This is the commission that you pay on the exchange when laying bets and it is typically either 0% or 2%. You can check this by googling the commission paid on the specific exchange you are using, or just checking on your exchange.
Enter the commission as a percentage (e.g. 2% instead of 0.02) or you can just use the buttons above the input box to quickly select either 0% or 2%.
5) Check your Qualifying Loss, Potential Profit and 2up Rating. You want to aim for a 2up Rating of 98% or Higher. This allows you to be certain that you are taking value. Your Qualifying Loss is how much you lose if there isn't a full turn around and the Potential Profit is how much you gain if there is a FTA.
6) If you are happy with the possible outcomes of the bet, Click the Lay Stake to copy it to your clipboard, and then place your Back Bet with the Bookmaker and Lay Bet with the Exchange.
7) Once both Bets are placed you can then Click the 'Log Bet' Button at the bottom to save it to Your Profit Tracker. You can also Select the Bookmaker, Exchange, Date and add a Description. However the Bet is still not over, as you can also choose to Lock in a Profit, which we show you how to do below.
Locking in a Profit
8) If the Team goes 2 goals up you have the opportunity to Lock in a Smaller profit by placing another back bet on the team. Learn more about this in Our 2up Guide.
To figure out what Back Stake to place in order to Lock in and Guarantee a Profit simply Click the switch where it says the bookmaker has paid out early.
9) Then you need to enter the Back Odds for the team you had the back bet on. Enter this in decimal form to the input box and see what stake you need to lay in order to guarantee the profit.
10) Next, you can Click to copy the required Back Stake and then place this bet at the correct odds. You can then Log the Bet again to your profit tracker and you will have made the Guaranteed Profit shown on the calculator.
