Free Bet Converter
Convert free bets to guaranteed cash profit
Most sportsbooks don't return the free bet stake - you only get the profit if you win.
Use longer odds for better conversion

Reading the table: Find your free bet odds in the left column, then look across to find the hedge odds available. The percentage shows how much of your free bet value you'll convert to guaranteed cash.
How It Works
- 1. Place your free bet on a long-odds selection (+200 or higher)
- 2. Find the opposite side at another sportsbook
- 3. Place a hedge bet with real money on the opposite outcome
- 4. Guarantee profit regardless of which bet wins
Maximizing Conversion
- • Use odds of +300 to +500 for best conversion rates
- • Shop multiple sportsbooks for the best hedge odds
- • Moneylines work better than spreads (less juice)
- • Convert free bets quickly - they often expire
- • Target 70%+ conversion rate when possible
A free bet converter is a calculator that helps you turn sportsbook free bets and bonus bets into guaranteed cash profit. Instead of risking your free bet on a single outcome, you can use a hedging strategy to lock in a percentage of the free bet's value as real money.
Understanding Free Bet Types
Most sportsbooks offer "stake not returned" free bets, meaning if you win, you only receive the profit portion - not the original stake. For example, a $100 free bet at +200 odds would pay $200 profit if it wins, not $300 (which would include the stake). This is important for calculating your conversion rate accurately.
Why Convert Free Bets?
While you could simply place your free bet and hope it wins, converting guarantees you walk away with cash. A typical conversion rate of 70% means your $100 free bet becomes $70 in guaranteed profit - regardless of the outcome. This is especially valuable for:
- Sign-up bonuses from new sportsbook accounts
- Promotional free bets from existing accounts
- Reload bonuses and loyalty rewards
- Risk-free bet refunds (when your first bet loses)
The Math Behind Free Bet Conversion
The conversion works by placing your free bet on one outcome and a real-money hedge bet on the opposite outcome at a different sportsbook. The key is finding odds where the potential payout from your free bet exceeds the hedge bet amount, guaranteeing profit either way.
