How to Use This Calculator

Enter stake on leg A, decimal odds for A, and decimal odds for leg B (the bet that rides if A wins). The tool estimates potential profit from B if A wins first—simplified versus full reverse-if rules.

Decimal odds

All prices in European decimal format.

Order matters

Leg A must win before leg B action activates in this toy model.

Book rules

Real reverse bets have idiosyncratic limits—verify ticket text.

Compare to parlay

Parlay ties both legs; conditional bets only risk full parlay loss patterns sometimes—read house rules.

Chained Outcomes

If A wins: profitA = stake × (o1−1); roll that amount into notional for B profit ≈ profitA × (o2−1)

Examples

Example 1 — Defaults

Stake 50, A = 2.00, B = 2.20. If A wins, profit A = 50; potential from B ≈ 50 × 1.2 = 60—match the app.

Example 2 — Short favorite A

Lower o1 shrinks roll for B—sensitivity test both legs.

Example 3 — Use IF bet page

If bet uses the same engine—pick the label that matches your book’s wording.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conditional staking differs—this targets traditional book phrasing.
