Tipster Tactics guide
Betting ROI Explained
What ROI means in betting, how it is calculated and why it needs context.
Responsible betting: 18+ only. Betting can result in losses. Treat tipster marketing claims as claims until you can verify the underlying record, odds and staking.
The basic calculation
ROI compares net profit with the total amount staked. A simple formula is: net profit ÷ total staked × 100.
Why ROI needs context
A high ROI over a tiny sample may reflect variance. Compare ROI alongside bet count, average odds, staking method and drawdown.
Use consistent stakes when comparing
Level-stake records are often easier to compare because changing stake sizes do not dominate the headline result.
