Checking the potential payout of a single bet is easy. But how do you analyze the performance of 10, 20, or 50 bets combined? Professional betting isn’t about one lucky win; it’s about managing a Portfolio.
Our Portfolio Profit & Loss Calculator is a professional-grade tool designed to simulate betting sessions, test strategies, and track daily performance. Unlike simple calculators, this tool allows you to apply different Staking Strategies (Flat vs. Percentage), deduct Exchange Commissions automatically, and calculate the Weighted Average Odds of your entire position.

Multi-Bet AnalysisHow to Use the Calculator
This tool transforms your betting data into actionable insights. Follow these steps to analyze your portfolio:
- Configure Global Settings:
- Total Bankroll: Enter your starting balance (e.g., $2,000).
- Staking Strategy: Choose how you want to bet.
- Manual: Enter a specific stake for every bet individually.
- Flat Stake: Fixes the stake (e.g., $50) for every row automatically.
- Percentage: Calculates the stake as a % of your bankroll (e.g., 2% of $2,000 = $40).
- Commission: If you use a betting exchange (Betfair, Matchbook), enter the commission rate (e.g., 2%). The calculator deducts this from every winning bet.
- Add Your Bets: Click “+ Add Bet” to build your list. Enter the Odds for each selection.
- Set Results: Mark each bet as Win (W), Loss (L), Push (P), Half-Win (½W), or Half-Loss (½L).
- Analyze the Dashboard:
- Net Profit: Your total earnings after deducting stakes and commissions.
- ROI (Yield): The efficiency of your turnover.
- Avg Odds: The weighted average price of your portfolio (risk indicator).
Real-World Examples: Strategy Testing
This calculator shines when comparing different staking methods or analyzing the impact of fees.
Example 1: Flat Betting vs. Manual Staking
You want to place 5 bets. You have high confidence in two of them and low confidence in three.
- Flat Strategy: You select “Flat Stake” ($50). You risk $250 total. If your low-confidence bets lose, they drag down your profit equally.
- Manual Strategy: You select “Manual.” You bet $100 on the high-confidence picks and $20 on the low-confidence ones.
- The Result: Use the calculator to simulate the outcomes. You will often find that manual staking improves ROI if your confidence correlates with your win rate.
Example 2: The Cost of Commission
You had a great day on the exchange: 4 Wins and 1 Loss. Total turnover: $1,000.
- Without Commission: The calculator shows a Net Profit of +$150.
- With 5% Commission: You enter “5” in the Commission field. The calculator automatically deducts 5% from the gross winnings of the 4 winning bets.
- The Reality: Your Net Profit drops to +$118. Seeing this impact helps you realize you need slightly higher odds to overcome the exchange fee.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is “Weighted Average Odds”?
Simple average odds just adds the odds up and divides by the count. Weighted Average Odds takes your stake size into account. A $500 bet at 1.50 odds has much more impact on your portfolio’s risk profile than a $10 bet at 10.00 odds. This metric gives you the “True” price of your portfolio.
Why use Percentage Staking?
Percentage staking (e.g., betting 1% or 2% of your bankroll) is a defensive money management strategy. It protects you during losing streaks (because your bet size decreases as your bankroll shrinks) and helps you compound profits during winning streaks.
Does this handle Asian Handicaps?
Yes. The result buttons include ½W (Half Win) and ½L (Half Loss). These are essential for accurately calculating profits on Quarter Asian Handicap lines (like -0.25 or +0.75) where a draw results in a partial payout or partial loss.
