Short answer

What is a free bet worth?

Roughly the amount × (odds − 1) ÷ odds at a fair price, minus the bookmaker's margin. The higher the odds, the more of the amount is left on average.

Odds 1.50 32% of the amount

Odds 2.00 48% of the amount

Odds 3.00 63% of the amount

Odds 5.00 76% of the amount

Bonus maths

How to value a free bet

Value ≈ amount × (odds − 1) ÷ odds

with margin: × (1 − margin)

Example: 1,000 × 2.00 ÷ 3.00 × 0.95 = ৳633.3

Why the stake does not count

A normal ৳1,000 bet at odds 3.00 returns ৳3,000 if it wins: your stake plus ৳2,000. A free bet only pays the ৳2,000.

What it means: the value is the winnings times the chance. At a 5% margin the chance is 31.7%, and 31.7% × ৳2,000 = ৳633.

Value your free bet

The value in taka of a free bet whose stake is not returned.

Free bet amount ৳1,000 Odds you bet at 3.00 The book's margin 5.0%

Win if it lands ৳2,000

Chance to win 31.7%

Value on average ৳633

Share of the amount 63%

A free bet of ৳1,000 at odds 3.00 is worth ৳633 on average. The stake does not come back, so only the win counts.

The formula assumes the odds reflect the true chance minus the bookmaker's margin.

Value per odds

What a ৳1,000 free bet is worth at different odds

The higher the odds, the more of the value you keep. The price is that the bet loses more often, so the value arrives less often.

1.50	৳500	63.3%	৳333	৳317	32%	low risk, little of the amount left.
2.00	৳1,000	47.5%	৳500	৳475	48%	close to an even bet.
