Lay Bet Calculator
Calculate liability and profit for lay bets on exchanges
How it works
Enter the back odds, lay odds and stake to calculate your liability, qualifying loss and profit for matched betting or exchange trading.
Quick Example
Scenario: You lay Chiefs to win at odds of 3.00 with a R100 lay stake.
If Chiefs lose: You keep the R100 lay stake
If Chiefs win: You pay out (3.00 - 1) x R100 = R200 liability
Lay betting is the opposite of backing. You profit when the selection does not win.
