What is Payout?
The total amount returned by a winning bet, including the original stake.
Definition
Payout is the gross return from a winning bet: stake × decimal odds. The profit (your gain) is payout minus stake. On a betslip, the 'potential payout' field shows what you receive if every leg wins. Payouts are settled by the bookmaker after the official result is confirmed; for football, settlement happens shortly after the final whistle. Voided legs in a parlay reduce payout proportionally rather than killing the whole bet.
Example
A $40 stake at decimal odds of 2.50 yields a $100 payout: $60 profit + $40 stake returned.
