In the UK, football betting is extremely popular and it is incredibly simple to calculate your returns for each market.
In a game of soccer, there are three possible outcomes – Home Win, Draw, Away Win.
- Typically, a home win will be a shorter price. If the hosts are 1.70 and you bet £20 on them to collect three points, your returns will be calculated as:
1.70 x 20 = £34
Profit £14 + £20 stake
- A draw will often be a bigger price and if it’s 3.65 to end all-square, your returns will be calculated as:
3.65 x 20 = £73
Profit £53 + £20 stake
NFL & NBA Betting
In NFL or NBA betting, some UK bookmakers will price up each outcome using decimal odds. This can subsequently be converted into American odds.
In NBA, the points spread will be set by the bookmaker and is often based on recent form and head-to-heads. Most bookies will make the points spread market a 50/50 outcome and each +/- points will be 1.91.
£20 on a team to overcome the -5 points spread at 1.91, your returns will be calculated as:
1.91 x 20 = £38.20
Profit £18.20 + £20 stake
Total Points
The total points market will also be priced up as a 50/50 chance and each outcome will typically be 1.91.
£20 on Over 218 total match points at 1.91, your returns will be calculated as:
