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.
