Decimal Odds To American

Convert odds between American, Decimal, and Fractional format using simple odds conversion formulas. Or, skip the math and use the odds converter instead!

American odds are either expressed as a negative (-) number or a positive (+) number. Negative (-) numbers are used for bets of less than even money, such as a favorite to win. A negative (-) number is how much you would have to stake to profit 100 units. Odds of -220 means you would have to stake 220 m฿ to win 100 m฿. American odds use the plus and minus sign to convey the potential return for any bet. American odds always use a baseline value of $100. A negative number indicates how much you’ll have to bet to win $100, and a positive number indicates how much you’ll win if you bet $100. Therefore, a negative number indicates an ‘odds-on’ favourite. As the name suggests, American Odds are popular in North America, with decimal odds of 3.00 being converted to +200. However, to make things more complicated, decimal odds of 2.00 are expressed as. This would be 3.00 in decimal odds, and 2/1 in fractional odds. The implied probability for these odds is 33.33%. In this example, the odds suggest that the player has a 33.33% chance of winning the match. This doesn’t mean that this is the player’s EXACT chance of winning the game.

Decimal to Fractional

Remove 1 from the decimal and convert to a fraction, then reduce to simplest form:

(decimal-1) -> convert to fraction

Odds

Examples:

1.75: 1.75 – 1 = .75 = 75/100 = 3/4
2.20: 2.20 – 1 = 1.20 = 120/100 = 6/5


Decimal to American

To convert a decimal of 2.00 or higher:

moneyline = (decimal – 1) *100

Examples:

2.00: (2.00 – 1)*100 = 1*100 = +100
3.35: (3.35 – 1)*100 = 2.35*100 = +235

To convert a decimal of less than 2.00:

moneyline = (-100) / (decimal -1)

Examples:

1.9091 : (-100)/(1.9091 – 1) = (-100)/(0.9091) = -109.99 = -110
1.6579 : (-100)/(1.6579 – 1) = (-100)/(0.6579) = -151.98 = -152


Fractional to American

Over 1/1: Convert Fraction to Decimal and multiply by 100.

Moneyline = (fraction value)*100

Examples:

7/4: (7/4) * 100 = (1.40) * 100 = +140
6/5: (6/5) * 100 = (1.20) * 100 = +120

Under 1/1: divide -100 by the Fraction as a Decimal.

Moneyline = -100/(fraction value)

Examples:

1/4: -100/(1/4) = -100/.25 = -400
1/10: -100/(1/10) = -100/.1 = -1000


Fractional to Decimal

Convert the fraction to a decimal and add one.

Examples:

3/4: (3/4) + 1 = (.75) + 1 = 1.75
6/5: (6/5) + 1 = (1.20) + 1 = 2.20

American to Decimal

Positive Odds (“+”): Divide the moneyline by 100 and add 1.

decimal = (moneyline/100) +1

Examples:

+100: (100/100) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.00
+235: (235/100) + 1 = 2.35 + 1 = 3.35

Negative Odds (“-“): Divide 100 by the moneyline, then add this value to 1.00.

decimal = (100/moneyline) + 1

Examples:

-110: (100/110) +1 = 1 + 0.9091 = 1.9091
-152: (100/152) +1 = 1 + 0.6579 = 1.6579


American to Fractional

Positive Odds (“+”): Divide the moneyline by 100 and reduce to simplest form

(moneyline/100) -> simplest form

Examples:

+120: (120/100) = 6/5
+250: (250/100) = 5/2

Negative Odds (“-“): Divide 100 by the moneyline and reduce to simplest form

(100/moneyline) -> simplest form

Examples:

-120: (100/120) = 5/6
-300: (100/300) = 1/3

Betting Odds Explained

American Odds – American Odds are the default odds format at most US friendly betting sites as well as Nevada sports books. Here odds are expressed as either a negative or a positive number. When positive the odds represent how much a player will profit on a successful $100.00 wager. So for example if the odds are +180 a successful $100 bet will return $280 (the $100 stake + $180.00 win). When the odds are negative they represent how much a bettor must stake to win $100. Therefore $150 staked at -150 returns $250.00 (the $150 stake + $100 win).

Decimal Odds – Decimal Odds, also referred to as European Odds, are used in most European countries and are the default option of many Asian bookies as well. This is the easiest odds format to understand as the odds represent how much a 1 unit wager returns. For example a €1 wager at odds 1.91 returns €1.91. This return includes both your stake plus profit; to calculate how much your return will be simply multiple your stake by the given odds.

Fractional Odds – Fractional Odds are used in the UK and Ireland. Here the first number is the amount to be won, and the second number is the stake. So for examples 4/1 is stake 1 to win 4, and 10/11 is stake 11 to win 10. To calculate how much a winning bet will profit, convert the fraction to a decimal and multiply it by the stake. For example 3/2=1.5, so, if wagering at 3/2 a successful bet will return 1.5 times your stake in winnings and will also return your stake.

Implied Probability – Implied Probability is how often a bet must win to average break even. This is calculated as risk/return, so for example +200 in American format (3.00 European) is risk $100 to win $200 so a winning wager returns $300 ($100 stake + $200 win). Therefore the implied probability of +200 is $100/$300= 0.3333, which is 33.33%. For this reason you should only wager at +200 if you think the probability of winning is greater than 33.33%.
