How do I use Betting Tools?
If you navigate via the buttons above to the betting tool you need, the instructions will be provided. Our calculators allow you to do the following:
- Odds Calculator – Confirm what your over all winnings will be with the odds you are using. Not all bookmakers support every odd so use this calculator to avoid confusion.
- Bonus Calculator – Use this to determine how your bonus will work, make sure to be cautious about any small print so you can claim it correctly.
- Margin Calculator – Odds provided by bookmakers will always give the house an edge. The ‘edge’ the house has is different everywhere, so use this to understand how much value you are getting with your bet.
- Odds Converter – Prefer to use decimal odds but the bookmaker only provides fractional odds? This calculator will help you decipher this puzzle.
This tool helps you calculate how much margin a bookmaker is adding to the odds they are providing. If you add the odds of a market you have found to a margin calculator you can find out, mathematically, how much the betting operator is expecting to profit from it.
This can vary depending on the game and tournament. Now that esports is becoming more established among bookmakers, it is hard to say which of them provides consistently the lowest margin. There will be a number of different platforms that offer the lowest margin depending on the event you are observing.
Simply enter the odds you are aware of already and the calculator will instantaneously tell you what the odds are for either Decimal, Fractional and American odds. Specific instructions can be found on the page.
