Free Bet Conversion Calculator

A free bet returns profit only, not your stake, so a $100 free bet is worth well under $100. Enter the odds to see its expected cash value and conversion rate — longer prices convert better.
Profit if it wins$300.00Stake is not returned
Expected cash value$75.00
Conversion rate75.0%

Free bets convert better at longer odds, because you keep a larger share of a payout you were never staking against. Using one on a heavy favourite throws most of its value away.

How to use it

Change any input and the results update immediately. The values are also written into the address bar, so you can bookmark a calculation or paste the link to someone else and they will see exactly the same numbers.

Everything here computes with the same functions that produce the grades inside WeBall, so a number on this page will never contradict a number on a bet card.

What the term means

A promotional wager that pays only the profit, not the stake, if it wins.

A $100 free bet at +200 returns $200, not $300 — the stake is not yours and does not come back. This makes a free bet worth substantially less than its face value in cash.
