Understanding Odds Types

American Odds

American odds are commonly used in the USA and are expressed as a single number. Positive numbers represent favorites (+150), while negative numbers represent underdogs (-200).

Decimal Odds

Decimal odds are used in many European countries and are always greater than 1.00. For example, 2.50 means you would win $2.50 for every $1.00 wagered.

Fractional Odds

Fractional odds are used in the UK and are expressed as a ratio (e.g., 5/2). The first number is the amount you can win, and the second is the stake you need to risk.

Note: Odds conversion is based on implied probability. The calculator uses standard conversion formulas to ensure accurate results.

Conversion Formulas

The calculator uses these standard formulas for odds conversion:

American to Decimal: If American odds are positive: Decimal = (American odds / 100) + 1 If American odds are negative: Decimal = (100 / |American odds|) + 1 Decimal to American: If Decimal > 2: American = (Decimal - 1) × 100 If Decimal < 2: American = -100 / (Decimal - 1) American to Fractional: If American odds are positive: Fractional = American odds / 100 If American odds are negative: Fractional = 100 / |American odds| Fractional to American: If Fractional > 1: American = Fractional × 100 If Fractional < 1: American = -100 / Fractional

These formulas ensure accurate conversion between all three odds formats.
