    It's easy. Just multiply your win percentage times your average mutuel.

    For instance, my record here now stands @ 66 for 238, which is 27.7%.

    My total mutuels are $564.60, which divided by the 66 winners makes for an average win price of $8.55.

    27.7 x $8.55 = $236.84

    So for every $200 i bet, i get back $236.84, which of course is an 18.42% ROI.

    Formula for ROI is:

    (Gain from investment - (minus) cost of investment)
    ROI= _________________________________________

    Cost of Investment

    that is :

    Gain from investment - (minus) Cost of investment ( Divided by) Cost Of investment = ROI

    This can be a positive or negative number
