How to Use This Calculator

1. Select your free bet type

Choose SNR if your stake won't be returned if the free bet wins — most bookmaker free bets are SNR. Choose SR if your stake is returned on a win — SR bets are worth more.

2. Enter free bet size & back odds

Free bet size is the value of your token (e.g. £30). Back odds are the decimal odds at the bookmaker. For free bets, aim for higher odds (4.00–8.00) to maximise efficiency.

3. Enter lay odds & commission

Lay odds are the price on the exchange for the same selection — usually slightly higher than back odds. Commission defaults to 2% for Betfair; adjust if yours is different.

4. Place both bets exactly

Use the exact lay stake the calculator gives you — do not round it. Place the free bet at the bookmaker and the lay bet on the exchange simultaneously for the best odds match.
