Why do you need a calculator for 2 outcomes?
This tool may seem too simple and outdated. Two-outcome arbitrage opportunities are extremely rare in pre-match betting nowadays. But it is still indispensable in two situations.
- For teaching beginner arbitrage bettors. It is preferable to start with simple situations and simple software, gradually making the task more difficult.
- When you need to place bets in «Live» mode, where even now you can find many surebets with only two outcomes. Here it will be useful for both beginners and experienced specialists. The speed of work is of decisive importance in this case (live odds change very quickly), and simplicity speeds up the process.
How does the 2-way calculator work?
You only need to enter the odds for each event and the total amount you plan to bet on the surebet. The calculator will calculate the stake amount for each leg and the total profit.
Example:
Bookmakers offer 1,9 odds for Team A to win. Team B wins at 3,5. In this case, the “draw” option is impossible. We enter these odds and the total stake amount of 100 $ into the calculator. We get the following values:
Mandatory bet on Team A - 64,81 ;
Bet on Team B - 35,19 ;
The guaranteed profit is 23,15 $.
