How It Works
Bonus bets are sportsbook credits that work similarly to free play - you only keep the winnings, not the original stake. Understanding the cash value helps you assess the true worth of the bonus.
How Bonus Bet Cash Value Is Calculated:
Cash Value = Bonus Bet Amount × (Odds - 1) / Odds
Or more simply:
Cash Value = Bonus Bet Amount × (1 - 1/Odds)
Example:
If you have a $100 bonus bet at odds of 2.50:
- Cash Value = $100 × (2.50 - 1) / 2.50 = $100 × 0.6 = $60
- This means the $100 bonus bet is worth approximately $60 in real cash

How the Bonus Bet Converter Works
Bonus bets only let you keep the winnings, not the original stake. The cash value represents what the bonus bet is actually worth.
Formula:
Cash Value = Bonus Bet × (Odds - 1) / Odds
This calculates the expected value of the bonus bet based on the odds you'll use.
Understanding Bonus Bet Value:
Higher odds increase the cash value of bonus bets. For example, a $100 bonus bet at 2.00 odds is worth $50, but at 3.00 odds it's worth approximately $66.67.
