Is the bookmaker's price worth taking?
Compare your bookmaker's odds with our fair odds of 1.48. If they offer more, the bet has value by our numbers; if they offer less, skip it or wait.
Example: your bookmaker offers 1.63 (example odds). A GH₵10.00 stake returns GH₵16.30 if it wins, a profit of GH₵6.30. Work out your own slip with the payout calculator. How to turn odds into a chance.
