What the results mean
| Result | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Bets | How many separate bets the slip contains. A Yankee is 11, a Lucky 15 is 15. |
| Total stake | Stake per bet times the number of bets. This is what leaves your account. |
| Return | Everything paid back, your stake included, from the bets that won. |
| Profit | Return minus total stake. A negative number is a loss. |
Worked example: a double in naira
You stake ₦2,000 on a double at 1.70 and 2.40. The combined odds are 1.70 × 2.40 = 4.08, so the return is ₦8,160 and the profit ₦6,160. If the second leg is void, it counts at odds of 1.00 and the bet becomes a single at 1.70: ₦3,400 back.
The same stake spread across a full-cover bet costs more than it looks. ₦100 per bet on a Heinz is ₦5,700 in total, because a Heinz is 57 bets.

Bet calculator FAQ
Does the bet calculator include acca bonuses?
No. Bonuses differ from one bookmaker to the next. The accumulator calculator lets you add a bonus percentage on top of the profit.
How is a void leg settled?
Most bookmakers settle a void or postponed leg at odds of 1.00 and let the rest of the bet stand. That is how the calculator treats it. Your bookmaker's rules always decide.
Can I enter fractional odds?
Yes. Type 5/2 or 11/10 and the calculator reads it as decimal odds of 3.50 or 2.10. American odds like +150 or -200 work too.
Why does my bookmaker show a slightly different return?
Bookmakers round odds and returns in their own way, and some cap the maximum payout. Differences of a few kobo come from rounding; bigger gaps usually mean a rule such as a payout cap.
