Bet types

How can I compare sportsbook odds when one app includes the stake in its payout?

Direct answer

Compare total return and profit separately for the same stake. Decimal odds generally express gross return per unit, while a profit figure excludes the stake. Verify the display definition before comparing two screenshots.

What to check

At decimal 2.50 on a $10 cash stake, gross return is $25 and profit is $15 if the bet wins under normal terms. Free-bet or promotional stakes may be treated differently.
