Bankroll Calculator
How large does my bankroll need to be to survive a session of this length?
Open the calculatorOdds Converter: What is this price in decimal, fractional and American odds, and what chance does it imply? Enter two figures and this page returns implied probability of this price, with every line of the arithmetic printed rather than hidden. The worked example below answers 40.00% for the figures it states. Free to embed. Checked 2026-08-23.
Run it on your numbersThe fields open holding the worked example below, and the answer changes as you change them. Every line of the arithmetic is printed under the result, and the formula under that — so the answer can be checked rather than trusted.
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 |
| American | +150 |
| Implied probability | 40.00% |
| Returns per 1 staked, stake included | 2.50 |
decimal = 1 + (fraction as a decimal), or 1 + American ÷ 100, or −100 ÷ American + 1 probability = 100 ÷ decimal fractional = decimal − 1, as the nearest conventional fraction American = (decimal − 1) × 100 when decimal ≥ 2, otherwise −100 ÷ (decimal − 1)
| Input | Value | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Notation you are entering | American — +150 | Decimal is standard in Europe and on most crypto books; fractional in the UK and Ireland; American on US-facing books. |
| The price | +150 | Type it exactly as the book shows it. A fraction takes a slash; an American price takes its sign. |
| Implied probability of this price | 40.00% | Computed by the same function the calculator above runs. The build refuses to publish this page if the two disagree. |
+150 is 2.50 in decimal, 3/2 in fractional, and says the outcome has a 40.00% chance. That last number is the one to argue with: back it only if you think the real chance is above 40%. Add up the implied probabilities of every outcome in a market and the total will exceed 100% — the excess is the book's margin, and it is what you are paying to be there.
Every calculator on this site ends here, because the number at the top is only as good as what it leaves out — and what it leaves out is never nothing.
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| What this cannot see | A price is what the book will pay, not what will happen. Implied probability is the chance the price corresponds to before the book's margin is removed, so it always overstates the true chance the book itself believes in. Fractional output is the nearest conventional fraction rather than an exact one, because bookmakers price in a fixed ladder of fractions; the decimal figure beside it is the exact one. |
| What it is not | Arithmetic, not advice. Nothing on this page recommends gambling, gambling more, or taking any particular bet, and no calculator turns a negative expectation into a positive one. |

Yes. There is no account, no sign-up and no charge, the page works with JavaScript switched off, and the embed snippet on this page may be pasted into any site. The only thing asked in return is that the attribution link outside the frame is left in place.
The formula is printed in full on this page so it can be checked rather than taken. Solaspins asserts no figure of its own here: every number is either one you typed or one derived from it, and the worked example is generated by the same function the form runs.
