There are 3 main types of betting odds, each presenting the same outcome in a different format with no effect on potential profit. Any event can be converted and displayed in the odds format you prefer.
- Fractional (British) odds
- Decimal (European) odds
- American (Moneyline) odds

- Choose your preferred odds format
Decimal odds are displayed numerically, showing the total amount you’ll receive if you win. To calculate your winnings, multiply your stake by the odds.
For example, decimal odds of 3.00 mean that you multiply your stake by 3 to calculate your possible winnings. If you place a bet of £10 at odds of 3.00, your likely return will be £30, including your stake.
Fractional odds are displayed as fractions, showing the profit relative to the stake. The number on the left shows the profit you can make by staking the number on the right.
For example, fractional odds of 2/1 mean you’ll receive 2 units of profit for every 1 unit you stake. If you place a bet of £10 at 2/1 odds, your potential return will be £30, including your £10 stake.
American odds are displayed as a positive or negative number and use a baseline value of £100.
A bet on the favourite means risking your stake to win £100, and a bet on the underdog means risking £100 to win the amount.
The symbol before the number marks the favourite with a ‘-’ and the underdog with a ‘+.’
For example, American odds of -260 mean you must bet £260 to win £100. With odds of +260, a £100 bet would win £260.
