How to Use the Bet Payout Calculator
Enter your stake in South African rand (R) and the decimal odds shown on your bet slip. Select Calculate Payout to see your potential return and potential profit.
You can change the stake or odds to compare different calculations. Select Reset whenever you want to start again.
How Is a Bet Payout Calculated?
A potential bet payout using decimal odds is calculated by multiplying your stake by the decimal odds.
For example, if you stake R250 at decimal odds of 4.50:
R250 × 4.50 = R1,125
Your potential return is therefore R1,125.
Because the potential return includes your original R250 stake, your potential profit would be:
R1,125 − R250 = R875
Potential Return vs Potential Profit
Potential return is the total calculated amount, including your original stake.
Potential profit is the amount remaining after your original stake is deducted from the potential return.
For example, if you stake R100 at odds of 3.00, the potential return is R300 and the potential profit is R200.
