How to Use the Money Games Calculator
This money games calculator helps you determine your potential winnings based on your bet amount and the odds. Follow these steps:
- Enter the amount you wish to bet in the Bet Amount field.
- Enter the odds in the Odds field. For fractional odds, use a format like 1.5; for American odds, use a format like 150.
- Select the appropriate Odds Type from the dropdown menu.
- Click the Calculate button to see your potential winnings and the total result.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the following formulas based on the type of odds:
- Fractional Odds: The potential winnings are calculated as Bet Amount x (Odds – 1).
- American Odds:
- If the odds are positive, the potential winnings are calculated as Bet Amount x (Odds / 100).
- If the odds are negative, the potential winnings are calculated as Bet Amount / (-Odds / 100).
The total result is the sum of the bet amount and the potential winnings.
Limitations
The calculator assumes that the bets are placed in a single bet scenario. It does not accommodate multiple bets, parlays, or other complex betting systems.
