Boosted odds look great — this tool shows what the boost is genuinely worth once both sides are hedged, including how maximum-winnings caps quietly shrink the advertised number.

Worked example

A worked example with fixed teaching numbers — not live odds, not a current opportunity.

Value the boost added (example)
+$12.50

$100 at +200 with a 25% boost, hedged at −300: locked result ≈ −$12.50 instead of −$25.00 unboosted — the boost added $12.50 of real value.

Members enter their own boost percentage, caps, and live odds — the calculator recomputes effective odds under the cap and sizes the hedge to the cent.

What is a profit boost?

A token that increases the profit of a winning bet by a percentage — a 25% boost turns +200 into effective +250. The stake itself is never boosted, which is why the effective odds formula is Ob = 1 + (O − 1) × (1 + b).

Why a boost may still produce a qualifying loss

Hedging both sides always costs the books' margin. A boost offsets that cost — $100 at +200 boosted 25% and hedged at −300 locks in about −$12.50 instead of −$25.00 unboosted. The boost added $12.50 of real value even though the locked result stayed negative. Boosts turn profitable when the boost is large, the odds are long, or the market is tight.

How maximum boost caps work

"25% boost up to $50 extra winnings" caps the incremental payout. Once the cap binds, your effective odds drop below the advertised boost — the calculator recomputes them and hedges the capped reality, not the marketing number.
