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 treg, eliminating exposure to loss and extracting value from baste falas and bonuses.
The optimal lay shumë e bastit is calculated to make fitims equal in both scenarios. For a qualifying bet (real money), the formula is: lay shumë e bastit = (back shumë e bastit x back odds) / (lay odds - commission rate). For a bastë falas where the shumë e bastit is not returned: lay shumë e bastit = (back shumë e bastit x (back odds - 1)) / (lay odds - commission rate).
The lay liability is the amount you must hold in your exchange llogari to cover the lay bet: liability = lay shumë e bastit x (lay odds - 1). This is not lost money; it is returned if the lay wins.
For qualifying bets, you typically incur a small loss because back odds and lay odds are rarely identical and exchange commission applies. This qualifying loss is the cost of zhbllokoing a bastë falas.
For baste falas (shumë e bastit not returned, SNR), the calculation changes because you are not risking your own shumë e bastit on the back side. The net fitim from a bastë falas is typically 70-90% of the face value, depending on how closely back and lay odds ndeshje and the level of exchange commission. A bastë falas of 20 units at close odds with 5% commission typically extracts 14-17 units of guaranteed fitim.
Exchange commission reduces the effective lay odds. A 5% commission on a lay at 3.10 means the real lay odds are 3.10 - (3.10 - 1) x 0.05 = 3.10 - 0.105 = 2.995. The calculator applies commission to all lay winnings automatikisht.
Closer back and lay odds produce smaller qualifying losses. Always look for lay odds within 0.10-0.15 decimal of the back price to keep qualifying losses manageable.

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