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

What is a free bet SNR?
SNR stands for "stake not returned". When a free bet wins, you receive only the winnings, not the original stake amount. This is the most common type of free bet offered by bookmakers, including 1win.
What exchange commission rate should I use?
Major exchanges typically charge 2-5% commission on net winnings per tirgus. Check your specific exchange konts; 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 koeficienti differ. The lay koeficienti are usually slightly higher because exchanges charge commission, creating a gap. This small loss is the cost of qualifying for a free bet or bonuss.
How do I find the best lay koeficienti?
Compare koeficienti at major derības exchanges. Higher liquidity tirguss (e.g. top football leagues) typically have tighter back-to-lay spreads, reducing qualifying losses.
Is matched derības risk-free?
When executed correctly with matching back and lay bets, matched derības involves minimal financial risk from the bet outcome itself. The main risks are operator error (wrong stake or koeficienti entered), bookmaker bonuss term changes, and konts restrictions from identified matched bettors.
