Profit, payout and total return explained
These terms are often confused. Your stake is the amount risked. Potential profit is the amount above the original stake if the selection wins. Total return combines the returned stake and potential profit.
Potential profit = Total return − Stake
Example: a ₹100 stake at decimal odds of 2.50 produces a potential total return of ₹250 and potential profit of ₹150.
Decimal, fractional and American odds
| Format | Example | Meaning | Decimal equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return per unit staked | 2.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Potential profit relative to stake | 2.50 |
| American positive | +150 | Potential profit from 100 units | 2.50 |
| American negative | -200 | Stake generally needed for 100 units profit | 1.50 |
Decimal odds formula
Fractional odds formula
American odds formula
For positive odds, multiply the stake by the odds and divide by 100. For negative odds, multiply the stake by 100 and divide by the absolute odds value.
Understanding implied probability
Implied probability translates odds into a percentage. Decimal odds of 2.00 represent 50%; 4.00 represents 25%. This is the probability suggested by the price, not a prediction or guarantee. Operator margins mean probabilities across every possible outcome may add up to more than 100%.
Responsible use of an odds calculator
A calculation can clarify risk, but it cannot make a wager safe or profitable. Set a strict entertainment budget, never chase losses and do not use borrowed money. Stop if gambling causes stress or financial difficulty. This website is intended only for adults aged 18 and above.
Cricket odds calculator FAQ
How do I calculate profit from decimal odds?
Multiply the stake by the decimal odds to find total return, then subtract the original stake. With ₹200 at 1.80, total return is ₹360 and potential profit is ₹160.
What is the difference between profit and total return?
Profit excludes your original stake. Total return includes both the potential profit and returned stake.
What does implied probability mean?
It is the percentage chance represented by the odds. Divide one by the decimal odds and multiply by 100.
Can I use the calculator for IPL matches?
Yes. It works for IPL match odds, player markets and other selections when you enter supported odds.
Does it work for T20, ODI and Test cricket?
Yes. Odds calculations do not change with the cricket format.
How do I enter fractional odds?
Select fractional odds and enter a value such as 5/2, 6/4 or 10/11.
Can I enter American odds such as +150 or -200?
