Convert sports betting odds
There are three main types of sports betting odds used by major sportsbooks from around the world, moneyline, decimal and fractional.
Moneyline Odds (American style)
- The moneyline is used as a standard by most US sportsbooks.
- Odds based on a straight single outcome (without a points spread).
Example: When positive (e.g +200), this means you will get $200 back as profit from a $100 bet.
When negative (e.g -200), you need to bet $200 to win $100 profit.
Decimal Odds (European style)
- Decimal odds are the most popular style used by sportsbooks and exchanges around the world, especially in Europe.
- Decimal odds show the total amount you can win, which includes your initial stake.
Example: If you bet $10 at odds of 2.5 and win you will receive $25 back in total.
Fractional Odds (British or traditional style)
- Fractional odds are found mostly when betting with UK & Irish bookies.
- The odds show the amount of potential profit in relation to your stake.
Example: If you bet $10 at odds of 2/1 and win you will receive $20 profit, plus your original $10 stake back.
