A bet tracker produces dozens of numbers, but a handful of metrics carry nearly all the information. Each answers a different question: ROI and yield measure profit per unit staked, hit rate measures how often bets win, EV and CLV measure whether the bets were good before the result, and the rest put the headline numbers in context.
- Return on Investment — the headline number: net profit as a percentage of the total amount staked
- Yield — the same profitability ratio measured against total turnover
- Hit Rate — how often settled bets win, and why it means nothing without the odds
- Expected Value — what a bet is mathematically worth before the result lands
- Closing Line Value — how the price you took compares with the market’s final price
- Sharpe Ratio — return per unit of risk, the volatility-adjusted view of ROI
- Profit Factor — gross profit divided by gross losses, the simplest profitability check
- Average Odds — the average price paid, the number hit rate needs for context
- Average Stake — the average amount risked per bet, a window into staking discipline
- Bankroll Charts — the equity curve that shows results over time
