What this tool calculates
This calculator evaluates arbitrage betting from the supplied figures. It separates the headline answer from useful checks so that stake, return, probability, or settlement terms are not confused.
Inverse sum = 1/effective odds₁ + 1/effective odds₂. Stakes are divided in proportion to inverse effective odds.
Displayed values are rounded; calculations use unrounded numbers. Operator rules and local deductions may change actual settlement.

Which odds format should I enter?
Enter decimal odds wherever an odds field appears; decimal odds include the returned stake.

Can bookmaker settlement rules change the result?
Yes. Voids, commissions, dead heats, overtime and market definitions may vary, so check the operator rules.
