01 Definition
ROI in betting measures overall profitability as a percentage of total stakes. The formula is: ROI = (Net Profit ÷ Total Staked) × 100. A +10% ROI means for every $100 staked, you've made $10 in profit. Professional bettors consider anything above +5% ROI at volume to be exceptional.
02 Example
A tipster places 1,000 bets at $100 each (total staked: $100,000). Their total returns are $121,400. Net profit = $21,400. ROI = (21,400 ÷ 100,000) × 100 = +21.4%.
03 Why It Matters
ROI is the gold standard for measuring betting performance because it normalizes across different staking levels and volumes. A 70% hit rate at low odds might yield 3% ROI, while a 55% hit rate at higher odds could yield 15% ROI. ROI tells the real story.
