What are American odds?

American odds are a way of expressing betting odds in the United States. They indicate how much money you would need to bet to win $100 (if the odds are positive), or how much money you would win if you bet $100 (if the odds are negative).

What are Decimal odds?

Decimal odds, also known as European odds, are a way of expressing betting odds in a more straightforward format. They represent the amount you would win for every $1 bet, including your original stake.

How do I convert American odds to Decimal odds?

To convert American odds to Decimal odds, you can use the following formulas:

For positive American odds: Decimal odds = (American odds / 100) + 1

For negative American odds: Decimal odds = (100 / -American odds) + 1

Can you provide an example of converting American odds to Decimal odds?

Sure! Let's say you see a betting line with odds of +150. To convert this to Decimal odds, you would use the formula (150/100) + 1 = 2.50. So the Decimal odds for this bet are 2.50.

Why would I want to use Decimal odds instead of American odds?

Decimal odds can be easier to understand and calculate payouts for, especially if you are not familiar with American odds. Additionally, Decimal odds are the standard format used in many countries outside the United States, so they may be more familiar to international users.
