1. What is Strike Rate in Betting?

The strike rate in betting represents the percentage of bets that result in wins. It's a key metric for evaluating betting performance and strategy effectiveness.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the strike rate formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage of your total bets were successful.

3. Importance of Strike Rate

Details: A good strike rate helps bettors assess their betting strategy's effectiveness. While important, it should be considered alongside other metrics like return on investment (ROI).

Tips: Enter the number of winning bets and total bets placed. Wins cannot exceed total bets, and total bets must be at least 1.
