ROI Formula: ((Returns - Stakes) / Stakes) × 100

Benchmark: Professional sports bettors typically achieve 2-10% ROI long-term. Anything above 5% is excellent.

Understanding Betting ROI

ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much profit you make relative to how much you risk. It's the most important metric for evaluating betting performance.

ROI Benchmarks

  • Below 0%: Losing money overall
  • 0-2%: Breaking even (typical recreational bettor)
  • 2-5%: Good performance (skilled bettor)
  • 5-10%: Excellent (professional level)
  • Above 10%: Exceptional (rare, may indicate small sample size)

Sample Size Matters

A 20% ROI over 10 bets means little. You need hundreds of bets to know if your ROI is sustainable. Variance can create winning or losing streaks that don't reflect true skill.
