💡 What it means

Read the result

The result shows the mathematical output of Free Bet using the values you entered. Read the headline value first, then use the breakdown to understand how stake, odds and scenarios contribute to it.

🧠 Formula / logic

How it works

SNR cash win = Free Bet × (odds−1); with Lay: Lay stake = cash win / (Lay odds − decimal commission)

💡 System returns depend on which selections win and on stake per line. Operator-specific bonuses are not assumed unless explicitly entered.

⚠️ Common mistakes

Entering odds, percentages or stake in the wrong field.

Treating the output of Free Bet as a prediction instead of a calculation based on the inputs.
