How to Compute a System Bet's Potential Winnings?

How to Compute Potential Winnings for a System Bet in PHP

1. Identify Your Bets

Determine the number of selections (teams) in your system bet. For instance:

• In a "2 from 3" system bet, you choose 3 selections and aim to win with any 2 of them.

2. Gather the Odds

Obtain the odds for each selection. Odds can be in decimal or fractional format. For example:

• Selection 1: 2.0
• Selection 2: 3.0
• Selection 3: 4.0

3. Calculate Combinations

Use the combination formula to determine the number of possible winning combinations. The formula is:

• Example: For a "2 from 3" system bet, there are 3 possible combinations:

(Selection 1 & Selection 2), (Selection 1 & Selection 3), (Selection 2 & Selection 3).

4. Calculate Potential Winnings for Each Combination

Multiply the odds of each selection within a combination to get the total odds for that combination.

• Example: Combination (Selection 1 & Selection 2): **2.0×3.0=6.0 **

5. Determine Your Stake Per Combination

Divide your total stake by the number of combinations. For example:

• If your total stake is ₱30 and there are 3 combinations, your stake per combination is: ₱30 / 3 =₱10

6. Compute the Potential Payout for Each Combination

Multiply the total odds for each combination by the stake per combination.

• Example: Total Odds: 6.0 Stake Per Combination: ₱10
• Potential Payout: 6.0×₱10=₱60

7. Sum Up All Potential Payouts

Add the payouts for all winning combinations to calculate the total potential winnings.

Final Note: System bets are a great way to cover multiple outcomes while mitigating risk. Always review the terms and payouts before placing your bet.
