1. What is Sports Betting Profit?

Sports betting profit is the amount of money you gain from a successful bet after accounting for your original stake. It's calculated by multiplying your bet amount by the odds and then subtracting your original bet.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the profit formula:

Where:

• \( Bet \) — Your original wager amount in INR
• \( Odds \) — Decimal odds offered by the bookmaker

Explanation: The formula accounts for both your original stake and the winnings to determine your net profit.

3. Importance of Profit Calculation

Details: Calculating potential profit helps bettors make informed decisions, manage their bankroll effectively, and compare different betting opportunities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your bet amount in INR and the decimal odds. Both values must be valid (bet > 0, odds ≥ 1).
