Answer-first
Betting Calculators are essential tools that automate complex formulas. Key types include the No-Vig Calculator (finds true probability), the Kelly Criterion Calculator (optimizes bet size), and the Hedging Calculator (locks in profit).
1. No-Vig (Devigger) Calculator
Removes the bookmaker's fee to show the "fair" odds. If a book offers -110/-110, the fair odds are +100/+100 (50% probability).
2. Kelly Criterion Calculator
Tells you exactly how much to bet based on your edge and bankroll size to maximize growth while minimizing ruin.
INPUTS
1. Your Probability (55%)
2. The Odds (+100)
3. Bankroll ($1,000)
> Output: Bet $50 (5%).
3. Parlay Calculator
Shows the true multiplier of a multi-leg bet. Use this to see if the sportsbook is short-changing you on the payout.
