What Are Odds?
Odds represent the probability of an event occurring and determine how much you win relative to your stake. There are three main formats used worldwide.
Odds are a bookmaker's estimate of probability, adjusted for their profit margin (the 'vig' or 'juice').
| Format | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| American | +150 | Bet $100 to win $150 profit |
| Decimal | 2.50 | Bet $1 to get $2.50 back total |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Win $3 for every $2 staked |
