1. What is Winning Percentage in Betting?

The winning percentage (Win%) in betting is a metric that shows what percentage of your total bets resulted in wins. It's calculated by dividing the number of winning bets by the total number of bets placed, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the winning percentage formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates what portion of your total bets were successful, expressed as a percentage.

3. Importance of Tracking Win Percentage

Details: Tracking your win percentage helps you evaluate your betting strategy's effectiveness, identify patterns, and make informed adjustments to improve your performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of winning bets and total bets placed. Both values must be valid (wins cannot exceed total bets, and total bets must be greater than zero).
