trickrick Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Now I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find an explanation and I've seen it mentioned so many times..so...can anyone please tell me what it actually means and why is it important in football betting staking plans?

Guest OddsAgainst Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: What is 'Yield' and why is it important? Have you read this? Its in the topic permanently stuck at the top so people can easily find it. Yield is defined in this thread. When you know what it is you will know why it is important in all betting, not just football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smudge Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: What is 'Yield' and why is it important? there will surely be some better/more proper explanations on this but yield to me is the same a 'profit over turnover' or 'return on investment' and basically means how much [in %] i am making in profit in relation to my overall stakes.

Guest bcrazy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: What is 'Yield' and why is it important? Well summed up by Smudge, Yield= Profit/Total staked It is important because it determines how much money your system makes- if you have a small yield you will need to make a large number of bets to make a decent profit. A good yield is about 5%+ and yield can't be dressed up in the same way profit can by making ridiculously high stakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickrick Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Yield.. Thanks chaps..OA - obviously I should have looked there..:\ ...However, it may be worthwhile bringing it again to the attention of dullards like me who don't always think about looking at sticky threads..;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
