    BET365 Potential payout question

    I just recently joined up on Bet365 and have just so far put down two bets which ive noticed the potential winnings dont calculate as they should.

    Like for instance I put a bet on yesterday the risk was 50 dollars and the decimal odds were for 4.33, the calculated payout should be 216.50 but my potential payout is only for 166.67 and their was another one I did where the bet was 30 bucks and the odds were 38.97 the potential payout was calculated on the website as 1,1139.99 but on my calcualtor said it should have been for 1,1169.10.

    Just wondering if theirs a reason

    Thanks!

    The figure given by Bet365is your potential winnings (excluding your stake).

    Your calculations in terms of the total payout (including stake) are, of course, correct.

    Above poster is correct. Bet365 are one of the few bookies who do this.

    Causes no problems obviously once you get used to it
