  3. Select the settlement option when shown, then press Calculate.
  4. Compare the main result with the supporting figures and rule note.

Formula and calculation

Under a Poisson model, P(push at k) = e^(−λ) × λ^k ÷ k!, where k is the integer line.

Under a Poisson model, P(push at k) = e^(−λ) × λ^k ÷ k!, where k is the integer line.

The calculator runs entirely in your browser and sends no betting data to a server.

Assumptions and limits

This tool applies the formula shown above to the supplied numbers. It does not retrieve live odds or predict an outcome. Market settlement, deductions, commissions, voids, and rounding can differ by operator and jurisdiction.

Use the result as an audit aid and check the market’s official rules before relying on it.

FAQ

What inputs does the Push Probability Calculator require?

It uses only the values shown in the calculator. Enter decimal odds and monetary amounts in consistent units where applicable.

How is the main result calculated?

Under a Poisson model, P(push at k) = e^(−λ) × λ^k ÷ k!, where k is the integer line. Intermediate values retain full JavaScript precision and displayed figures are rounded.

Does rounding change the settlement?

The calculator rounds only for display. A bookmaker may round at a different stage, so a small account-level difference is possible.

Can operator rules change this result?

Yes. Voids, dead heats, commission tiers, deductions, overtime and market-specific settlement can differ. Check the rules attached to the actual market.

Does this result predict a winning bet?

No. It is a transparent mathematical estimate from the entered assumptions and does not predict events or guarantee a return.
