There are dozens of bet types that can be found at Bet UK, including:
*Anything that is a fourfold or higher can be found under Accumulator Bets.
How do you calculate your bets?
Our betting calculator is set up with a series of algorithms that are made to read specific odds in any odds format. If we take an example in the form of a Lucky 63, which is a bet that is primarily placed in horse racing. This bet consists of six different bets, six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and one six-fold accumulator. However, as your bet plays out, if only 4 of your six bets come off, you can input the odds of your bets that have won and it will show you exactly how much you'll return from your bet. Bet calculators are a must for any who wish to partake in sports betting.
What bets may I need a betting calculator for?
When it comes to the betting calculator, some of the most complex bets are multiple bets, such as Lucky 15-63's and Yankee bets. These are bets where you can win without having all of your bets come through, so you may see two bets win or even a one winner consolation payout which reduces the loss of your bet. These bets often see your stake multiplied by a number which will be used as your total stake and determine the potential payout of your bet. It is possible to calculate the odds in your head; however, if you have access to a bet calculator, it is significantly easier to calculate your potential winnings from every bet you place.
How many selections can I add to the bet calculator?
The biggest accumulator that can be created on Bet UK is a 12-fold accumulator, which means that up to 12 selections can be added, to add more selections, click the add button. We recommend for your first usage, testing out different bet types with four selections to get the hang of the widget. You can input odds at different formats, input your total stake and go through the multiple options available to you. For example, with four selections, you would be able to choose between 4 singles, 2 doubles or 1 four-fold accumulator. Once you've added in additional information such as free bets and your type of bet, your bet returns will be calculated.
What is the formula for calculating a bet?
Depending on the odds format you use, the way a bet is calculated is different. Different odds formats are calculated in different ways, for example, decimal odds at 5.0 show that for every £1 you put on the bet, £5 would be your total return, this means £4 profit. 5/1 is Fractional betting odds and this means that for every £1 you would put on, you would get £5 back.
How are cash out bets calculated?
The cash out feature in online gambling can be extremely valuable if used correctly. However, this can't be used for just any wager, a sportsbook determines prices on a variety of factors and whether or not something could happen immediately to change the price. For example, when a game is in-play, you will see your cash out odds change by the second, this is due to the position of the ball on the pitch and the likelihood that the next spell of play could alter your bet. Live betting allows sportsbooks to be efficient with the odds they suggest, as live odds give you options for live games, the cash out options will also vary accordingly.
This works differently with outright bets, your cash out value will likely stay the same for a long period, then during a game, it will be suspended. Once the game that was in-play has concluded, then your cash options will re-open, this is due to the fact that outright markets tend to close during a fixture.
What types of odds can a betting calculator handle?
The BetUK betting calculator utilises the Decimal and Fractional odds methods. American odds are extremely rare in the United Kingdom and therefore aren't included in this betting calculator. Our calculator is designed to handle these different types of odds, ensuring the high quality experience for our users who can input their preferred odds format and perform accurate calculations based on their chosen format.
Can a betting calculator calculate the implied probability of a bet?
A betting calculator will never give you the precise percentage you have of winning a bet. However, what it will do is help you read the implied probability of betting odds. Enter your odds into a betting calculator and it will automatically give you the payout. Entering £1 as a stake gives you the best idea of how each bet works.
For example, if you input decimal odds of 2.50 into the calculator, it will determine that the implied probability of that bet winning is 40% (1 divided by 2.50). Similarly, if you input fractional odds of 3/1, the calculator will calculate the implied probability as 25% (1 divided by (3+1)).
Can the betting calculator handle complex bet combinations, such as parlays or accumulators?
Absolutely! BetUK has an accumulator set up for every type of bet, so no matter what you're looking to place a bet and then calculate your odds, you'll be able to do so at BetUK.
Can a betting calculator be used for in-play or live betting?
Yes! However, with live betting, please beware that the betting odds will consistently change over the course of a game, if you're live betting on a football game, it is highly likely that in the time it takes you to input your betting odds to the calculator, the odds have changed, so we do not recommend using it while you bet live, more so after you have placed the bet, then you can add the content to our odds calculator with your single bet or multiples bets.
Should I use Fractional or Decimal betting odds in my betting calculator?
Choosing whether to use fractional or decimal betting odds with your bet calculator is completely down to you and your preference. If you tend to use decimal odds then you'll use decimals in the bet calculator and vice-versa with fractional odds. It is the value of the odds that ultimately determine your potential payout, not the format of the odds.
