Cash Out Calculator

What This Calculator Shows

When a book offers to cash out your bet early, it names a price and nothing to compare it with. This page puts two numbers beside the offer. The first is what your bet is worth at today's fair prices: the sharp book's current price on each leg with its margin taken out, multiplied through your ticket. The second is what a hedge would leave you: the bet on the other side at the best price we can see right now, sized so you end with the same amount whichever side wins.

Fair value is our estimate from today's prices. Not a forecast of profit. The hedge is arithmetic on prices you can take, and prices move, so confirm at the book.

How The Fair Value Is Worked Out

• Each open leg uses the sharp book's price at the exact line you bet, with its margin removed the same way our boards do it.
• A leg that already won counts as certain. A void or pushed leg is taken off the ticket and the payout worked out without it, as books do.
• Once a game has started, we only use a live sharp price we actually hold, labeled Live with its age. We never use a pregame price after the start.
• When the offer is within 3% of fair value, we say it is about the same as fair and show no dollar gap.

What We Don't Value

Player props wait for our next study of the prop fair price, so a prop leg gets no value for now. Two legs from the same game depend on each other, so we don't value a same-game parlay. A market we don't carry has no fair price, and we say so rather than guess.
