1. What is the Cash Out Calculation?

The Cash Out calculation determines the value of your bet before the event has concluded, based on the current market odds compared to your original odds. It allows you to secure a profit or minimize a loss before the event finishes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Cash Out formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Stake} \) — Your original bet amount
• \( \text{Current Odds} \) — The current market odds (decimal format)
• \( \text{Original Odds} \) — The odds when you placed the bet (decimal format)

Explanation: The equation calculates what portion of your potential winnings you can secure now based on how the odds have changed since you placed your bet.

3. Importance of Cash Out Calculation

Details: Understanding cash out values helps bettors make informed decisions about whether to let a bet ride or secure a guaranteed return, especially useful in volatile betting markets.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your original stake, the current market odds, and your original odds. All values must be positive numbers. The calculator will show what you could cash out for at the current odds.
