Yield is a performance metric that shows profit or loss as a percentage of total stakes placed.

It measures betting efficiency, not total winnings.

How it works

• Formula: Yield = (Profit ÷ Total Stakes) × 100

• Positive yield means profit

• Negative yield means loss

Example

• Total stakes: $1,000

• Profit: $80

• Yield: 8%

Key characteristics

• Better indicator than win rate

• Allows comparison between different strategies

• Commonly used by professional bettors and tipsters

Important note
High yield over a small number of bets is unreliable; meaningful yield requires a large sample size.
