What this tool calculates
Calculate a back bet return, gross profit and optional commission deducted from winning profit.
Win profit = stake × (odds − 1). Commission is applied to positive profit only; a loss loses the stake and a void returns it.
Figures are informational. Operator grading, limits and local rules may change an actual settlement.
Worked example
A 100 back bet at 2.50 earns 150 gross profit. With 2% commission on profit, net profit is 147 and total return is 247.
