Outlay

Outlay in betting refers to the total amount of money wagered on a bet or series of bets. It represents the bettor's investment in a particular betting market.

For example, if you place €50 on Team A to win and €50 on Over 2.5 goals, your total outlay is €100. In multiple bets or accumulators, the outlay is the initial stake placed on the bet, regardless of potential winnings.

Managing outlay is crucial for bankroll management, as betting too much on a single outcome increases risk, while spreading outlay across multiple value bets can improve long-term profitability.
