What are moneyline odds and how do they work?
Moneyline odds (also called American odds) show how much you win relative to a $100 wager. Negative odds (e.g. -110) mean you must bet that amount to win $100 — these are favorites. Positive odds (e.g. +150) mean a $100 bet wins that amount — these are underdogs. See also our Parlay Calculator.
How do you calculate winnings from American moneyline odds?
For positive odds: Winnings = (Odds / 100) × Stake. For negative odds: Winnings = (100 / |Odds|) × Stake. Your total payout is always Winnings + your original Stake returned.
How do you convert American odds to decimal odds?
For positive American odds: Decimal = (American / 100) + 1. For negative American odds: Decimal = (100 / |American|) + 1. For example, -110 converts to 1.9091 and +150 converts to 2.50.
How do you convert American odds to fractional odds?
For positive odds: the fraction is Odds/100 simplified (e.g. +150 = 3/2). For negative odds: the fraction is 100/|Odds| simplified (e.g. -200 = 1/2). This calculator displays the decimal equivalent of the fraction for precision.
How do you convert odds to implied probability?
For negative odds: Implied Probability = |Odds| / (|Odds| + 100) × 100. For positive odds: Implied Probability = 100 / (Odds + 100) × 100. For example, -110 implies a 52.38% chance of winning.
What does implied probability mean in sports betting?
Implied probability is the likelihood of an outcome as suggested by the odds. Sportsbooks build in a margin (the 'vig' or 'juice'), so the combined implied probabilities of both sides usually exceed 100%. Finding bets where the true probability is higher than the implied probability is the goal of value betting.
What is the standard moneyline odds for an even bet?
-110 is the most common standard line in sports betting. It means you must bet $110 to win $100 — the extra $10 is the sportsbook's margin (vig). True even-money would be +100 on both sides, but books rarely offer that.
Can I use this calculator for any bet size, not just $100?
Absolutely. Just enter your actual bet amount in the Bet Amount field. The calculator scales all results — winnings, payout, and implied probability — to your specific wager, regardless of the size. You might also find our Total Payout — Decimal Odds useful.
