How this calculator works
Matched betting is a technique that uses a back bet (placed at a bookmaker) and a lay bet (placed at a betting exchange) to cover both outcomes of a αγορά, eliminating exposure to loss and extracting value from δωρεάν στοιχήματα and bonuses.
The optimal lay ποντάρισμα is calculated to make κέρδοςs equal in both scenarios. For a qualifying bet (real money), the formula is: lay ποντάρισμα = (back ποντάρισμα x back αποδόσεις) / (lay αποδόσεις - commission rate). For a δωρεάν στοίχημα where the ποντάρισμα is not returned: lay ποντάρισμα = (back ποντάρισμα x (back αποδόσεις - 1)) / (lay αποδόσεις - commission rate).
The lay liability is the amount you must hold in your exchange λογαριασμό to cover the lay bet: liability = lay ποντάρισμα x (lay αποδόσεις - 1). This is not lost money; it is returned if the lay wins.
For qualifying bets, you typically incur a small loss because back αποδόσεις and lay αποδόσεις are rarely identical and exchange commission applies. This qualifying loss is the cost of ξεκλείδωσεing a δωρεάν στοίχημα.
For δωρεάν στοιχήματα (ποντάρισμα not returned, SNR), the calculation changes because you are not risking your own ποντάρισμα on the back side. The net κέρδος from a δωρεάν στοίχημα is typically 70-90% of the face value, depending on how closely back and lay αποδόσεις αγώνας and the level of exchange commission. A δωρεάν στοίχημα of 20 units at close αποδόσεις with 5% commission typically extracts 14-17 units of guaranteed κέρδος.
Exchange commission reduces the effective lay αποδόσεις. A 5% commission on a lay at 3.10 means the real lay αποδόσεις are 3.10 - (3.10 - 1) x 0.05 = 3.10 - 0.105 = 2.995. The calculator applies commission to all lay winnings αυτόματα.
Closer back and lay αποδόσεις produce smaller qualifying losses. Always look for lay αποδόσεις within 0.10-0.15 decimal of the back price to keep qualifying losses manageable.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
What is a free bet SNR?
SNR stands for "ποντάρισμα not returned". When a δωρεάν στοίχημα wins, you receive only the winnings, not the original ποντάρισμα amount. This is the most common type of δωρεάν στοίχημα offered by bookmakers, including 1win.
What exchange commission rate should I use?
Major exchanges typically charge 2-5% commission on net winnings per αγορά. Check your specific exchange λογαριασμό; premium members sometimes pay lower rates. The default in this calculator is 5%.
Why do I sometimes make a loss on a qualifying bet?
Qualifying losses arise when back and lay αποδόσεις differ. The lay αποδόσεις are usually slightly higher because exchanges charge commission, creating a gap. This small loss is the cost of qualifying for a δωρεάν στοίχημα or bonus.
How do I find the best lay odds?
Compare αποδόσεις at major betting exchanges. Higher liquidity αγορές (e.g. top ποδόσφαιρο leagues) typically have tighter back-to-lay spreads, reducing qualifying losses.
Is matched betting risk-free?
When executed correctly with αγώναςing back and lay bets, αγώναςed betting involves minimal financial risk from the bet outcome itself. The main risks are operator error (wrong ποντάρισμα or αποδόσεις βάλεed), bookmaker bonus term changes, and λογαριασμό restrictions from identified αγώναςed bettors.
