Each return assumes only that row wins; profit subtracts the entire budget. Stakes sum exactly to your total. Returns use cent rounding; bookmaker rounding may differ.

If none of your selections wins, you lose €500.00. This is not a full-market arbitrage check.

How the stake split works

For 500 at 2.50 and 4.00, the split is 307.69 and 192.31. Either covered outcome returns about 769.23, for about 269.23 profit. The lower odds need the larger stake.

Stake per selection = total stake × (1 ÷ its decimal odds) ÷ the sum of inverse odds.

Use mutually exclusive outcomes: for example home win and draw from the same 90-minute 1X2 market. Do not combine overlapping double-chance selections, or bets from different matches.

These calculations assume one full winner and full losses on the other selections. Pushes, dead heats, half wins/losses, exchange commission, taxes, fees, free bets and settlement differences are not modelled. Prices, available stakes and bookmaker limits can change before bets are accepted.

Calculation tools, not betting recommendations. Nothing is added to your ledger and no bets are placed. Currency changes the display only, not exchange rates. Gambling involves risk—only stake what you can afford to lose.
