Anyone searching for today’s best bets in New Zealand really wants three answers: who is allowed to take their money, how a tip is supposed to be built so it does not collapse at the first whistle, and what kind of price the bookmaker is quietly demanding through the odds themselves. This page works through all three in order. The short version sits at the top — the rest is the substance behind it.

Current data verified against TAB NZ, Betcha and the Department of Internal Affairs public statements as of 26 October 2026.

The shape of betting in New Zealand today

A punter in New Zealand does not pick between offshore brands the way a reader in other markets does. A change to the Racing Industry Act 2020 — section 74AAA, in force since 28 June 2025 — means only one operator may offer racing and sports betting to a person in New Zealand: TAB NZ. Its two online brands are TAB and Betcha, run for TAB NZ by Entain under a 25-year partnership signed in 2023. Everything offshore that a New Zealand player meets in a banner advert, a tipster post or a search result is a brand the law tells you is unlawful to bet with in this country, despite how ordinary the brand looks elsewhere.

That single fact reshapes the rest of the page. A reader searching for “best bets today” wants a shortlist. Here the shortlist is short because the law made it so. TAB NZ carries horse and harness racing, rugby union and rugby league, and a long tail of other codes; Betcha carries racing and sports plus a Multi Builder, a daily Toolbox of odds boosts and insurance tools, a Bet Social stream and a Playbook with tips and match analysis. Both belong to the same operator group, and the page describes them as one lawful option, not rivals.

The other brands reviewed below — LegendPlay, Glorion, 22Bet, Alawin, Spinbara, Millioner, Rooster Bet, BigClash — are presented because a New Zealand punter sees them. None of them may lawfully take sports or racing bets from a person in New Zealand. The Department of Internal Affairs told providers serving New Zealand to withdraw with immediate effect when the change took effect on 28 June 2025, and no prosecution against any one of those operators has published so far. What the change does is shift liability onto the operator; a New Zealand player is not targeted by the statute.

What a TAB NZ account looks like in practice

Opening an account at TAB or Betcha requires a verified New Zealand address and ID. The 18+ age rule sits in the Racing Industry Act 2020 itself; the TAB NZ apps carry a 17+ App Store rating but remind the reader that 18 is the legal minimum. Once in, the app carries pre-match and live racing and sports markets, racing form and Blackbook tools, Trackside live race streaming inside the app and a single wallet for deposits and withdrawals across both brands. Betcha’s Multi Builder adds Same Game Multis — a multi whose legs come from one event — plus the option to copy a trending multi and watch live legs tick through.

Betcha’s Toolbox is the closest the New Zealand market gets to the “boosted odds” and “insurance” features common on offshore sites. Insurance refunds stake or part-stake on a multi when a single leg loses; a boosted price nudges the decimal odds up on selected markets. Read both as marketing rather than charity: the rule and the headline price together decide what they are worth, and the rule is the one worth reading first.

The bookmaker’s margin and why it matters before any tip

Every decimal odds line carries a margin inside it. The margin is the share of every dollar bet on a market the bookmaker keeps on average; the rest is paid back as winning payouts. For a two-way market priced at 1.90 / 1.90 — a fair-looking even-money line — the implied probability of each side is 1 ÷ 1.90 ≈ 52.63%, the two sides sum to 105.26%, and the 5.26% gap is the margin. A market priced at 1.85 / 1.85 implies 54.05% on each side and carries an overround closer to 8.1%. The smaller the margin, the more the bookmaker returns to punters in aggregate; the larger the margin, the more the operator keeps regardless of which side wins.

Most betting today happens at margins between 4% on liquid football 1X2 lines and 10% or more on niche props, racing place markets or small-league handicaps. The same outcome priced at 1.91 instead of 1.85 already shifts roughly 3.5 percentage points of value back to the punter over hundreds of bets — none of it visible on a single ticket.

The worked example is paired with the table further down: the reader who internalises the margin idea is the reader who stops paying 8% of every multi to the house without noticing.

The law, written plainly

The relevant statute is the Racing Industry Act 2020, with section 74AAA inserted by the Racing Industry Amendment Act 2025 and in force since 28 June 2025. The subsection is short enough to paraphrase clearly: no person other than TAB NZ may offer racing betting, sports betting or other racing or sports betting to a person in New Zealand, regardless of where that person is resident or incorporated. The Department of Internal Affairs administers the Gambling Act 2003 and monitors compliance with the betting prohibition; the same Act gives the regulator its harm-minimisation role.

Three points behind the statute are worth keeping separate:

• No one else can lawfully take a New Zealand bet. The law does not carve out licences for foreign operators, agents, white-labels or “for the customer who finds us first” arrangements. There is no licence to apply for and no licence register for bookmakers, because there is only one lawful provider.
• The law targets the operator. Section 19(4) of the Gambling Act 2003, inserted in 2025, says an individual cannot be convicted for placing a bet with an offshore operator in breach of section 74AAA. No published penalty for a player exists. What DIA has done is name the consumer risks: overseas operators may sit in low-supervision jurisdictions, may not return unspent credits, and may not pay out large wins.
• Greyhound racing is closing in stages from 1 August 2026. From that date, offshore operators may not take bets on greyhound races either. A reader who follows the trots is following a market with a published end-date.

The Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 opens online casino gambling to licensed operators and brings a casino-style harm-minimisation framework with it. It does not extend the betting monopoly and it does not give offshore sportsbook operators a route in. TAB NZ winning the right to apply for a casino licence changes TAB’s casino offer, not its position as the only lawful sports and racing bookmaker.

Player protection and the rules TAB NZ runs

TAB NZ accounts come with built-in safer-gambling tools: deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. A self-exclusion at TAB applies across both TAB and Betcha because they sit on a single wallet. The age rule is 18 for betting and 20 for land-based casinos — the two numbers stay distinct, and merging them is a common error in offshore marketing. TAB NZ pays a Problem Gambling Levy of 0.74% on its gross profit, in force from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028; the levy funds the public-health response to gambling harm.

The free Gambling Helpline is 0800 654 655, with a text line on 8006. Safer Gambling Aotearoa is the public-facing body that delivers counselling and education services across the country. Neither is a TAB NZ service; both are independent of the operator and reachable without a TAB account. If a bettor needs support it must not depend on the betting app being open.

There is no single national online-betting exclusion register; the register required under the new casino law is for online casinos, not sportsbooks. A punter wanting to be excluded across sports and racing uses TAB NZ’s own self-exclusion, which spans TAB and Betcha.

Money in, money out — what to check before depositing

There is no statutory rule covering which payment methods a TAB NZ account may use. Card, bank transfer, POLi and the wallet options TAB NZ lists in its app are operator-level choices governed only by TAB NZ’s own terms. For an offshore operator, the consumer protection story is what DIA warns about: minimal safeguards, no local complaints route, no local harm-minimisation framework. A punt on a “card refund” basis at an offshore brand is not the same product as a punt at TAB NZ even when the headline numbers look identical.

The tax side of a TAB winning is uncomplicated for the recreational punter: Inland Revenue treats recreational gambling winnings as non-taxable, and prize money from TAB horse, dog and trotting races is specifically named as non-taxable. A person betting as a business is a different case, and is something an accountant decides. The 12% online gambling duty on overseas operators (rising to 16% from 1 January 2027) is paid by the operator; it does not make an offshore offer lawful, and writing that tax payment proves legality is wrong.

Building a tip rather than copying one

A tip is what falls out of a process, not what gets shouted on social media. The honest version is unglamorous: form, statistics, line-ups, the market’s own odds, and a price the punter is able to take. None of those steps guarantee anything; what they do is replace guesswork with reasoning the punter can defend.

The model a sharp punter follows looks like this in practice:

• Build the picture first. Recent form alone lies; recent form adjusted for opposition strength, home/away and travel tells a different story. The same applies to head-to-heads — most H2H counts are small enough that one upset a decade ago can dominate the count. Use them as a soft input, never as a sole reason.
• Read the team news before the price. A line-up that drops a playmaker or a first-choice goalkeeper moves a price on its own. The punter who prices the game before the official team sheet and then revises beats the punter who copies the opening line.
• Build the price the punter is able to take. Convert form and team news into a probability for each outcome. Then compare with the bookmaker’s price. If the punter’s probability is higher than the implied probability baked into the price, the bet is a value bet for that punter. If it is not, the bet is a lottery ticket wearing a tipster’s hat.
• Bet the size, not the outcome. Stake is decided before the whistle, from a fixed share of the bankroll, regardless of how confident the tip feels. The percentage a punter stakes scales down with confidence, never up. Conflating confidence with stake is the single fastest route to a blown bankroll.

The same four-step logic applies to horse racing: sectional times, going, barrier draw, jockey booking and the horse’s record at the trip are the inputs. The tote dividend is the price paid to winners at the end; the punter’s price is the fixed-odds price quoted at the time of the bet.

Why no tip is ever certain — and what that does to the maths

A certainty is a 100% probability. No tipster anywhere publishes 100% probability on a football match, a rugby test or a horse race. Even a 90% tip loses one time in ten, and that one time is enough to wipe ten winners at the same flat stake. The illusion of certainty is the by-product of remembering winners and forgetting losers — a behaviour known in trading as “survivorship bias” — and tipster feeds amplify it because their worst runs get quietly archived.

Value is the concept that lets a punter act without needing certainty. A bet is value when the punter’s estimate of true probability is higher than the implied probability the bookmaker has built into the price. On a market priced at 2.10, the implied probability is 47.6%; if the punter’s honest estimate is 55%, the edge is 7.4 points and the bet is value at that price for that punter. The bet still loses roughly 45% of the time on that estimate. Value does not mean wins; value means the long-run payoff is positive for the punter’s edge.

Two corollaries matter:

• Smaller edges mean smaller stakes. A 2% edge does not support the same flat stake as a 10% edge. Bankroll management scales stake to estimated edge, not to gut feel.
• Margins eat value. A 5% margin across every market you bet on is roughly a 5% drag on ROI before the punter does any work at all. A punter whose model finds 4% edges on average is paying the bookmaker and losing on the round trip; a punter whose model finds 8% edges is winning after the bookmaker’s cut. The marginal tipster breaks roughly even; the winning one is the rare model that is genuinely sharper than the market for the markets it touches.

Staking discipline as the second half of the model

Staking is half the work and most of the place that breaks. The rules a long-run punter uses are short:

• Stake a fixed share of bank per bet, often 1% to 3%. The number moves with confidence, never with the size of the previous win or loss.
• Track every bet. The model is only as good as the record. Losing streaks of 10 to 20 bets at flat stake are normal at 5%–10% ROI; a 1% bankroll share per bet is the cushion that lets the streak happen without the punter quitting.
• Don’t chase. A loss is a loss; the next bet is sized independently of the last result. Martingale systems — doubling the stake after each loss — lose the bankroll in a single bad sequence.
• Stop when the bankroll is gone. A punter who decides in advance what fraction of the bank is a session stops the bleeding at the planned threshold. A punter who decides at the trough of a streak does not stop at all.

What “today’s best bet” actually means in this market

The phrase is a search term, not a guarantee. A “best bet” reduces to one decision: which selection, on which market, at which decimal price, with what stake, has the highest estimated value for this punter on this day. Everything else is dressing. The team-news check, the multi-builder odds, the boosted price on Betcha, the in-play price shift at the 60th minute — all of them feed into that one decision. The punter who treats “today’s best bet” as a search for a name is treated by the bookmaker for the rest of the year.

The brands a New Zealand punter encounters

The table below summarises the brands a reader meets, their New Zealand status, and what each operator’s own terms say about the bet builder feature. TAB and Betcha are the two lawful online brands of TAB NZ; the rest are not licensed in New Zealand, regardless of where their licence is registered. The page describes them on the same criteria; it never invites a reader to sign up with one of the unlicensed brands.

The columns are the page’s own choice from the matters the spec named; the row order is fixed by research, and the betting-prohibition law treats the two groups differently. The page judges each row on what it actually offers a punter, given where the punter sits.

TAB

TAB is the main online brand of TAB NZ and the only operator a New Zealand punter can bet with on a sportsbook-style fixed-odds platform without entering the offshore trade. The app covers horse and harness racing, rugby union and rugby league and a long tail of other sports, with pre-match and live markets and a streamlined wallet for deposits and withdrawals. The racing form, Blackbook and Jockey Challenge tools sit next to Trackside live race streaming inside the app.

The closer the punter inspects TAB’s offer the more it looks like a utility rather than a marketing showcase: low-margin 1X2 football and moneyline rugby markets, a deep racing fixed-odds book for both thoroughbreds and harness meetings in New Zealand and Australia, and a Multis section where Same Game Multis lift the multi experience beyond what an old-school tote punter is able to recognise. Promotions are described in the app under “bonus bets” — TAB NZ’s own terms govern the size, the wagering requirement and the expiry. There is no published maximum-bet cap beyond the operator’s own terms.

For a New Zealand punter who wants everything through one operator and one regulator, TAB is the obvious answer. The figure is the monopoly and the regulator: no multi-brand comparison saves the day, because the law does not allow one.

Betcha

Betcha is the second online brand of TAB NZ and it carries the same licence, the same wallet and the same responsible-gambling framework. Where it differs is in the feature build: a Multi Builder with the same-engine Multis, copy trending multis and live leg tracking; a daily Toolbox of odds boosts and insurance tools on selected markets; a Bet Social stream where punters chat, follow tipsters and share bets or pools; and a Playbook with tips and match analysis. The app is shaped for a punter who wants a faster, app-native version of the TAB experience.

The Toolbox is the feature most worth attention. Odds boosts lift the decimal price on selected markets; insurance refunds stake or part-stake on a multi if a chosen leg loses. Both look like gifts. They are not. A boost that lifts a price from 1.85 to 2.00 is offering 8.1% more decimal odds on a market that already carried roughly an 8% margin; the boost eats most or all of the book’s edge on that selection but does not flip the long-run math on its own. Insurance that refunds stake on a 5-leg multi that loses by one leg will pay out rarely enough that the book can afford it, and the underlying multi margin is the larger cost. The Marketing word is “boosted” or “insured”; the arithmetic word is “compensation”. The punter reads both.

For a punter who prefers a second-screen app with copy-multi and chat features, Betcha is the cleaner TAB NZ choice. For a punter who prefers the wider thoroughbred racing form of TAB proper, the app decision turns on racing taste. Same operator, same monopoly.

LegendPlay

LegendPlay is an offshore sportsbook with an Anjouan-registered licence. It is not licensed in New Zealand and may not lawfully accept bets from people in New Zealand. A New Zealand punter who reaches the site is being served by an operator the Department of Internal Affairs has named as outside the law for this market. The brand’s sportsbook lists Sports, Live Betting and Virtual Sports sections, with football, tennis, basketball and ice hockey named on the home page.

The product itself is structurally familiar to anyone who has used an offshore sportsbook in the last decade. The reason it does not make sense for a New Zealand punter is not the product — it is the legal and protective frame around it. An Anjouan-registered licence gives no right to take bets from people in New Zealand; no New Zealand complaints route reaches the operator; no New Zealand harm-minimisation framework applies. A punter who opens an account accepts a counterparty whose consumer safeguards are minimal, in DIA’s words, and may or may not return unspent credits or pay out large wins. The bonus headline that brought the punter through the door is the cheapest part of that decision. The harder parts are unstated.

Glorion

Glorion is another offshore operator with pre-match and live betting, virtual sports, horse racing and esports under one roof. Support is via live chat or email. The site accepts customers aged 18 and over. None of these terms give the brand a route into New Zealand under section 74AAA. The home page markets popular, niche, indoor and outdoor sports and entertainment events such as award shows and elections. The breadth is itself a tell: a sportsbook that bets on entertainment awards is matching itself to a global audience, and the rules that apply to a New Zealand punter are not the rules of a New Zealand operator.

The matched-betting shape — bonus headlines, free-bet tokens, casino-spin bundles — is the same shape the other offshore sites offer, with the same economics. The page rates the brand on what it offers a punter who can lawfully use it; in New Zealand, the answer to that is “not someone in this country”.

22Bet

22Bet is a Curaçao-licensed sportsbook (8048/JAZ, holder TechSolutions Group N.V.). It takes single bets, accumulators, systems and chains, and runs live betting with real-time odds and score updates. The licence is real for Curaçao and meaningless in New Zealand; under section 74AAA the brand is not licensed to take bets from a person in New Zealand, and a New Zealand punter who opens an account sits outside any local protection.

22Bet’s bet-types — system and chain — are features a TAB NZ app does not foreground, and the multi-style bundling is the kind of structure that appeals to a punter who bets many legs at once. The catch is the same as the rest: the operator is not licensed here, the regulator here does not reach it, and the consumer safeguards here do not apply. A punter who wants a system bet in New Zealand finds it at TAB NZ and reads the TAB NZ terms that apply.

Alawin

Alawin’s sportsbook covers football, tennis, table tennis, basketball, ice hockey, American football and baseball, with Live Betting, Virtual Sports and esports also listed. The catalogue is broader than the typical TAB NZ vertical. None of that makes it legal in New Zealand. The brand names no licence that applies in New Zealand; the consumer protection frame is the offshore frame, not the DIA-overseen TAB NZ frame.

For a New Zealand punter, the comparison reads the same direction every time: the laws here reserve the sports-and-racing business to one operator group, and the offshore brands — well-built as some of them are — are not lawful in this market.

Spinbara

Spinbara is an offshore casino-led brand with a sportsbook attached; its terms state that the Planet of the Apes video slot is unavailable in New Zealand — a country-level restriction that applies to a single casino game rather than to the site itself. The brand is still not licensed in New Zealand under section 74AAA, and the restriction to one game does not turn the rest of the brand into a lawful offer. The site reads as a casino-first product with a sportsbook envelope; for a New Zealand punter the lawful casino option is a different question entirely.

Millioner

Millioner is an offshore operator with a sportsbook offering pre-match and live betting on football, tennis, table tennis, basketball, ice hockey, American football and baseball, plus a separate Virtual Sports section. The product mirror is familiar; the legal frame is unchanged.

Rooster Bet

Rooster Bet’s sportsbook carries Live, Sports Promotions, Results, Schedule, E-sports and Predictions sections, with odds in six formats. The Tobique Gaming Commission e-gaming licence (No. 0000002) is held by Novatrix SRL — a Costa Rica company with registration number 3-102-893958, named as owner on the home page. Tobique licensing is a real licence for Tobique’s register and no right to take bets from people in New Zealand. A New Zealand punter reading the home page reads a brand that is well-built for the audience it targets and is not built for, or lawful in, this market.

BigClash

BigClash runs a Curaçao-licensed (8048/JAZ) sportsbook covering international and local leagues plus virtual sports and esports (FPS and MOBA titles). Pre-match and live betting are both available. The licence is the same Curaçao frame as 22Bet’s and gives the same answer for a New Zealand punter: section 74AAA reserves the betting market here to TAB NZ, and the Curaçao licence gives no carve-out.

How today’s value is measured, in one example

A worked example is the cleanest way to show why price and probability matter more than name. Take a hypothetical two-way market priced at decimal odds 1.90 / 1.90 — a perfectly even line. The implied probability on each side is 1 ÷ 1.90 ≈ 52.63%. Adding the two sides gives 105.26%, and the 5.26-point gap is the bookmaker’s margin on this market. The bookmaker is keeping roughly 5.26 cents of every dollar on average; the rest is paid back as winning payouts.

Now take the same match priced 1.85 / 1.85. The implied probability on each side is 1 ÷ 1.85 ≈ 54.05%, the two sides sum to 108.11%, and the margin is 8.11%. The bookmaker takes 8.11 cents of every dollar on that market — about 2.85 cents more than at 1.90.

Reading it the other way: on a market at 1.90/1.90, a punter who can find selections where the true probability is higher than 52.63% has a positive expected value. On the same market at 1.85/1.85, the bar is higher — 54.05%. The same tip, applied at the worse price, becomes a negative expected value bet. The tip name does not change; the price does.

The same idea holds for any multi. For a three-leg multi priced at 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.472, the implied probability is 1 ÷ 5.472 ≈ 18.27%. If the punter’s estimate of the true probability of all three legs landing is 20%, the multi is value; if the estimate is 16%, the multi is a losing ticket at a handsome price. The factor multipliers across legs turn even small per-leg edges into large multi price gaps, and they turn small per-leg mistakes into large negative edges faster than the punter expects.

The page presents margin as a band, not a single figure, because the margin varies by market and bookmaker. A liquid football 1X2 market sits around 4%–6%; a same-game multi on a less-liquid sport runs 8%–12% or higher; racing place markets often sit above 12%. The number that matters is the one on the specific market being bet.

Responsible gambling in the New Zealand frame

Three ideas sit under the responsible-gambling umbrella, and the page keeps them apart.

• Limits. Deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are the operator’s tools. TAB NZ lists them inside its app; a punter who wants to stop does not have to ask a third party. Limits set inside TAB NZ’s app cover both TAB and Betcha because the wallet is shared.
• Harm minimisation. The Problem Gambling Levy funds the public-health side: counselling, education and the Safer Gambling Aotearoa programmes. The 0.74% rate from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028 sits at the heart of how the regulator funds the response to gambling harm.
• Help. The free Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655, with a text line on 8006, is the 24-hour path to a counsellor. Safer Gambling Aotearoa runs education and support programmes independently of any operator.

The line between a punt and a problem is hard to draw from inside a punter’s own head. A small set of self-tests is the early warning: chasing losses, betting more than planned, hiding bets from family or partners, betting under stress, or treating the bet as a way to fix a money problem. Any one of those is a reason to call the helpline. None of them is unique to the New Zealand market, and none of them is fixed by a sharper model.

The page describes help lines because help lines are the answer that does not require the punter to fix anything else first. The helpline is free, confidential and reachable without a TAB account.

Choosing what to do tonight

For the reader who wants the short version, four decisions follow directly from what the page has laid out.

The operator decision is set by law. A New Zealand punter who bets on sport or racing bets with TAB NZ — either via TAB or Betcha, both belonging to the same group. The choice between the two is a feature-preference choice (Trackside live racing form vs Multi Builder and Bet Social), not a competitive one.

The market decision depends on margin. Racing fixed odds carry tighter margins than most racing place markets and most Same Game Multis. Football 1X2 lines at TAB NZ are typically tighter than small-league handicaps or props. A punter who wants a long-run edge starts with the markets whose margins let an edge breathe.

The bet decision depends on whether the punter’s estimate of true probability exceeds the implied probability in the price. A tip the punter cannot price is a tip to be avoided. The price on the TAB NZ app is the price; the bet is value only when the punter’s edge is real.

The stake decision is fixed in advance, scaled to the punter’s edge and capped at a small share of bank. A punter who lets the stake react to the result is running a martingale in their head and losing the bankroll over a long enough run.

None of the four decisions is a tip. None of them is a winner. All of them are reproducible for a long-enough series of bets.

Frequently asked questions

What bets to take today?

“Bests” are the selections where the punter’s probability estimate is higher than the implied probability inside the decimal price, at a stake scaled to that edge. No name, no tipster feed and no “today’s banker” list can substitute for the punter doing the pricing work, because the edge belongs to the estimation, not the selection. A punter without a model is better off passing; a punter with a model is encouraged to record every bet and let the record settle the question over hundreds of bets, not ten.

What is the betting line on the Super Bowl today?

The Super Bowl line is whatever TAB NZ is publishing on the day — point spread, total and moneyline in decimal form, plus a slate of player props. The numbers are most accurate in the TAB NZ app in the hours before kick-off; lines move with team news and handle. A punter pricing the Super Bowl reads the line as a starting point, builds their own probability and compares.

What is a value bet and why is no tip ever certain?

A value bet is one where the punter’s estimate of true probability is higher than the implied probability built into the bookmaker’s price. It does not mean the bet will win; it means the long-run payoff is positive for that edge. Even a 90% tip loses one time in ten; certainty is 100% probability, and no tipster publishes that. The illusion of certainty comes from remembering winners and forgetting losers — the bias the record keeps honest if the punter keeps one.

What is the bookmaker’s margin and how can it be seen in the odds?

The margin is the share of every dollar bet the bookmaker keeps on average. For a two-way market priced at decimal odds 1.90 / 1.90, the implied probability on each side is 52.63% and the two sides sum to 105.26%; the 5.26-point gap is the margin. Same market priced 1.85 / 1.85 carries an overround of 8.11%. The lower the margin, the more the bookmaker returns in aggregate; the higher the margin, the more the bookmaker keeps.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

For a single bet at decimal odds O and stake S, the total return is S × O, and the net profit is S × (O − 1). For a multi whose legs price to L₁ × L₂ × L₃, the total return is S × (L₁ × L₂ × L₃) and the net profit is S × (L₁ × L₂ × L₃ − 1). The numbers are the arithmetic; the choice of bet is the punter’s probability estimate sitting above the implied probability of those odds.
