Cash out: what you give up
A bet still running is worth what it would pay times its chance of winning. The market's odds now give that chance, once the margin is taken out. In the example the bet is worth €17.99 and the offer is €17.00: taking it gives up €0.99, 5.5% of what the bet is worth.
Type in the odds
The figures shown are an example we typed, not any bookmaker's odds. Decimals may be written with a point or a comma.
Check the stake, the odds you took, at least two odds now and the offer.
The bet is worth €17.99 now: it pays €30.00 if it wins, and it wins 60.0% of the time at the odds now, without their margin (4.0%).
The offer of €17.00 gives up €0.99, 5.5% of what the bet is worth.
The offer of €17.00 is above what the bet is worth, by €0.99. That is rare; check that the odds are from the same moment as the offer.

How it is worked out
The bet's chance of winning comes from the odds now, with the margin taken out in proportion. The bet is worth that chance times what it would pay. Whatever the offer falls short of that is the cost of cashing out.
A second, independent calculation must give the same figures, or the page is not published.
What this leaves out
- It does not say who will win. Every result is measured at the market's own chances, with the margin taken out.
- Tax on winnings and any charges.
