How To Use The Standard Betting Calculator

1)

In the first box enter the Back Odds for the event. This is the odds on the Bookmaker, 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 at the Back Odds. This may be limited by the bookmaker as they do have stake limits for special offers such as price boosts.

4)

The last piece of information you need to input is 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%.
