How does it work?
The reverse of the classic calculation: start from the profit to find the stake
💰What is it for?▼
Usually, you set your stake and see how much you can win. Here, it's the opposite:
You set a profit target (e.g. win 100€), and the calculator tells you exactly how much to stake based on the available odds.
Useful to reach a specific goal: unlock a bonus, fund a purchase, or follow a bankroll plan.
🧮The formula▼
Stake = Profit ÷ (Odds - 1)
Logic: when you win a bet at odds C with a stake S, your gross payout is S×C, and your net profit is S×C - S = S×(C-1).
So to target a profit P: S = P / (C-1)
Examples:
→ Target 100€ at odds 2.00 → stake = 100 / 1.00 = 100€
→ Target 100€ at odds 1.50 → stake = 100 / 0.50 = 200€
→ Target 100€ at odds 3.00 → stake = 100 / 2.00 = 50€
🎬When to use it?▼
🎁 Unlock a bonus
"I need a 30€ stake at min odds 2.00 to validate the bonus" → direct calculation.
🎯 Monthly target
"I want to make +500€ this month" → calculate the stake per bet based on available odds.
💎 Targeted purchase
"I'm 200€ short for a specific purchase" → a single well-thought-out position.
📊 Bankroll management
To follow a "+1% of BR per day" plan → calculate the exact stake.
⚠️Pitfalls to avoid▼
🚨 Odds too low
At odds 1.10, to win 100€ you must stake 1000€. The risk becomes disproportionate: a single loss wipes out 10 wins.
💭 The "sure win" illusion
Low odds are not a guaranteed win. 1.10 = 90.9% probability per the book, so ~1 loss in 10 bets on average.
🎯 Chasing a loss
"I lost 200€, I must recover it" = the classic trap. The probability doesn't change, only your risk level rises.
Pro tips
📌 Avoid odds < 1.30 unless there's a specific strategy (surebet, bonus)
📌 Never risk more than 1-3% of your bankroll on a single bet
📌 A set profit doesn't guarantee an obtained profit — you still have to win the bet
📌 Ideal odds to target a profit: between 1.50 and 2.50 (risk/reward balance)
📌 Combine with the Kelly calculator to adjust your stake to your confidence
📌 Watch out for bookmakers' max stakes on very low odds
