Enter total stakes and total payouts to calculate hold and return rate.
Hold measures the difference between stakes accepted and payouts settled. It is a historical result, not a forecast for a future market.
Enter total stakes accepted and total payouts for the same settled set of bets. Hold is (stakes minus payouts) divided by stakes, expressed as a percentage. A negative result means payouts exceeded stakes.
This tool measures the share of settled stakes retained before operating costs. It is a historical result, so it can differ from the margin implied by the original odds.
Yes. If payouts exceed total stakes in the period you enter, gross revenue and hold are both negative.
Use the bookmaker margin calculator for overround, or the arbitrage calculator to test prices across every outcome. This hold calculator uses settled stakes and payouts.
