Bonus Bet Calculator
A bonus bet pays the profit but never returns the stake, so backing the other side is how it turns into money you can withdraw.
The bonus pays $300.00 in profit if it lands, and $220.00 on the other side at -275 covers it. Both ways it settles you are left with $80.00, so 80.0% of the bonus comes back as cash you can withdraw — if both legs fill at these prices.
A $100 bonus bet is $100. The account balance says so.
The offer
What the bonus is worth
Profit only. The book keeps the stake whichever way the bet settles, which is why a bonus bet is never worth its face value in cash.
Covering the other side
The hedge stake is real money out of your own pocket, sized so both results pay the same. Longer odds on the bonus leg convert better, because the profit it pays grows faster than the share the hedge takes back — and shopping the other side for the longest price on offer keeps more of it again.
If the bonus leg wins
If the other side wins
The bonus costs nothing when it loses, because the stake was never yours. The hedge return includes your own stake coming back, so the net is only what sits on top of it.
This holds only if both legs actually go on at the prices above. The other side can move while you are placing it, either book can cut the stake you asked for, and a void, a push or a cancelled game leaves you holding one leg alone with the bonus already spent. Terms matter too: some books set a minimum price on bonus bets, exclude markets, and pay attention to accounts that only ever bet the promo.
