Enter a bonus amount and price. We estimate the cash value when the bonus stake is not returned.
Usually no. Most bonus bets return profit only, so a $100 bonus at +200 returns $200 profit if it hits, not $300 including stake.
Longer odds return more profit when they hit, but hit less often by implied probability. The calculator balances those two pieces.
No. It is an expected cash estimate from the posted price. The actual result is either the profit if it hits or zero if it misses.
Bonus bets usually return profit only. The bonus stake is not returned, so this cash estimate is lower than a normal cash bet with the same listed price. 21+ · Bet responsibly

The honest explainer
A bonus bet pays winnings only — the stake never comes back. That single rule is why a '$100 bonus bet' is not $100: its cash value is capped well below face, and the ads pricing it at face value are counting on you not doing this arithmetic.
The standard way to realize its value is conversion: place the bonus on one side, cash on the other, and lock a fraction of face value regardless of result.
$100 bonus bet on a +250 underdog (winnings if it hits: $250). The favorite side sits near −300. Hedge with $187.50 cash at −300: if the dog wins, $250 − $187.50 = $62.50; if the favorite wins, $187.50 ÷ 3 = $62.50. Either way ≈ $62.50 locked — a 62.5% conversion, close to the practical ceiling. Used on a heavy favorite instead, the same $100 bonus converts to pocket change.
