Single bet calculator
Price up any straight bet in seconds and see profit before you place it.
Swap odds formats, toggle each-way, and keep your staking aligned with the rest of the AiProfit toolkit.
See potential and realised returns instantly so you can check the numbers before staking.
How the Single bet calculator works
Enter your stake and odds and the calculator shows potential return and profit in real time. If you enable each-way, it splits your stake across the win and place legs and applies the place terms you choose. You can also include commission so the displayed winning return reflects the percentage deduction you enter.
- Instant conversion between decimal, fractional, and American odds.
- Potential and realised return for the selected outcome.
- Each-way toggle that mirrors bookmaker place fractions.
- Free bet mode to remove the stake from the return.
- Optional commission field for a percentage deduction from winning returns.
- Save completed calculations to Profit Tracker with an AiProfit account.
When to use the Single bet calculator
Singles are the foundation of qualifying bets, value bets, and sensible bankroll management. Use the calculator to test different bookmaker stakes, cash or free-bet settlement, and win-only or each-way outcomes. It is also ideal for free bet conversions because you can toggle free bet mode and view the return without the stake being included.
Make smarter staking decisions
Try a few stake sizes or place terms to find what fits your bankroll best. The live updates make it easy to stay disciplined. If commission applies to the return you are checking, enter it before comparing the result. Update the outcome after the event to compare potential and realised returns. For a bookmaker back stake and exchange lay stake, use the matched betting calculator.
Qualifying bet example at decimal 2.20
A GBP 25 single at decimal odds of 2.20 returns GBP 55 if it wins, made up of the GBP 25 stake plus GBP 30 profit. The calculator keeps the potential return and profit visible before you place the bet.
Singles vs each-way bets and doubles
Use the singles calculator when one outcome is enough and you want the cleanest possible staking picture. Move to the each-way calculator when place terms matter, or the double calculator when two selections must be linked.
Bankroll-control mistakes for straight bets
Singles are the easiest structure for controlling outlay because one stake maps to one outcome. The common mistake is treating a short-price single as risk-free; the calculator keeps the actual stake, potential return and profit visible so you can stay within your staking rules.
