How to use the Stakes calculator (step by step)
Every arb and middle on the dashboard has a Stakes button. Here's how to use it properly.
1. Enter your total stake
Type the total amount you want to put across all legs, e.g. ₦10,000. The calculator splits it so every outcome returns roughly the same amount.
2. Read each leg
Each line shows the bookmaker, the outcome and the exact stake for that leg.
3. Round sensibly
Use Round Up or round stakes yourself to natural amounts (₦4,900 instead of ₦4,937). Odd, hyper-precise stakes are one of the easiest ways for a bookmaker to spot an arber — more on that in the "avoiding restrictions" guide in Bookie Reviews & Beware.
4. Check the result line
After rounding, make sure every outcome still returns more than your total stake. If one doesn't, adjust.
5. Place fast, in the right order
Place the "bet first" leg first — it's the price furthest from the market and most likely to be corrected. Then place the rest straight away.
Tip: keep both bookmaker apps logged in and funded before you start, so you're not searching for passwords while the odds move.
