1. What is Sports Betting Win Percentage?

The Sports Betting Win Percentage is a metric that shows what percentage of your total bets resulted in wins. It's a key performance indicator for sports bettors to evaluate their success rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the win percentage formula:

Where:

• \( wins \) — Number of winning bets
• \( bets \) — Total number of bets placed

Explanation: The formula calculates the ratio of wins to total bets and converts it to a percentage.

3. Importance of Win Percentage

Details: Win percentage helps bettors track their performance over time, identify trends, and compare different betting strategies. A win percentage above 52.4% is generally considered profitable in standard -110 odds betting.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of wins and total bets placed. Wins cannot exceed total bets, and total bets must be at least 1.
