Calculating a Lay Stake

  • I am wondering what the math is behind calculating a lay stake. I’ve been trying to replicate it for my excel spreadsheet so I don’t need to use any online versions. Any help is appreciated.

  • New to matched betting?

    My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

    Something like this

    =(D4*E5)/(E14-D15)
    Lay stake = back stake x back odds / lay odds – commission

    Just basic lay where you win and lose equally.
