MANUAL INPUTS ONLY

Bet builder lay helper.
You type both sides.

A bet builder is one back bet on a complete combination. Type the combined quote from the bookmaker’s slip, the lay price and the commission. The page works out one cash lay from that quote. It does not multiply leg prices. It does not log in to an exchange. It does not load odds.

Illustrative legs at 2.00 and 3.00 are not a back price of 6.00. With an actual bookmaker quote of 4.50, a £10.00 back stake, lay odds of 6.20 and 2% commission, the lay stake is £7.28 and the liability is £37.86. If the back wins, the result is −£2.86. If the lay wins, the result is −£2.87. The lower result is −£2.87. Other calculators are on the tools page.

Manual lay helper

Cash back only. No exchange account.

The lay must cover the exact same complete combination and the same settlement rules, not a single leg. A matching exchange market may not exist. Neither a single-leg lay nor guessed combined odds is the same bet.

Pounds and pence, for example 10.00.

Decimal odds printed on the bet slip for the whole builder, for example 4.50. Leave this blank and the page shows no lay stake. Do not multiply the leg prices and type the product here.

Decimal odds of at least 1.01, for example 6.20.

For example 2 for 2%. This is not taken from a live account.

Not included

  • Multiplying leg prices into a bookmaker quote
  • A correlation or pricing engine
  • Exchange login, odds feed or one-click betting
  • Live odds
  • Each-way, dead heats, non-runners, Rule 4 and free bets
