Football betting odds: how to calculate your potential payout
Like with all sports, football betting involves making predictions about the outcome of one or more matches. Each bet has varying odds depending on its probability (chance) of winning. How much you win from a wager depends on two factors – the odds you take and your bet amount (stake).
To calculate the potential profit from a winning sports bet, use this easy formula: odds/100 x wager
Stake | Odds | Profit | Total Payout |
---|---|---|---|
1 $100 | -500 | $20 | $120 |
2 $100 | -200 | $50 | $150 |
3 $100 | +100 | $100 | $200 |
4 $100 | +300 | $300 | $400 |
5 $100 | +900 | $900 | $1,000 |
