Parlay calculator and get the bet amounts.....

[dogman]

If your betting a two game parlay and want to get a certain return back is there a parlay calculator that can do that. For example you have a 2 game parlay with odds of +250 and want to get a return of $100. By hand you would take the reurn and divide it by the odds +1 so 100/3.50= a wager of $28.57.Your payoff would be $71.43 so a return of $100.
I know it's simple by hand but is there a parlay calculator out there where I could just plug in my wanted return and parlay odds and it would tell me the bet amount?

There's also one on SBR's betting tools:

I understand that SBR wants to promote their own betting tools, but that's pretty lame that my first post mentioning a parlay calculator on another site was deleted.

You're more than welcome to promote other sites on your own forum or even in the "Sports Promotions & Links" of this forum. In the Think Tank section of this forum, however, I won't permit you that luxury. My apologies.

I've spent way too much time and energy designing and programming these betting tools to have you or anyone else advertise a competing (and markedly inferior) product on this site irrespective of how "lame" you believe it to be.

I modified the calculator so you can now specify either a risk or win amount.

Ganch, on the revised calculator if ,for example, if you plug in -112 and -120 if I wanted to get a return of $100, could it tell me the amount to bet to get that return(amount to win, (payout)+amount risked). In the example the amount to win would be($71.19) plus the amount risked($28.82).Thank you.

The calculator will tell you either:

1. How much you need to risk to win a given amount, or
2. How much you will win if you risk a given amount.

Are you saying you'd like the calculator to be able to report how much you'd need to risk in order to risk+win a certain amount? If so, may I ask why? It could certainly be done but it seems at face value a slightly peculiar request.

Thank You, Ganch.
