Odds Conversion Calculator
Convert between decimal, fractional and American formats and read the implied probability.
How to Use This Calculator
- Use the toggle to set the input format: Decimal, Fractional, or American
- Key the odds value into the input field
- Read the equivalent values across all three formats together with the implied probability
Examples:
- Decimal: 2.50
- Fractional: 3/2
- American: +150 or -200
Formula
Decimal to Fractional: Fractional = Decimal - 1 (expressed as a fraction)
Decimal to American:
- If Decimal >= 2.00: American = (Decimal - 1) x 100
- If Decimal < 2.00: American = -100 / (Decimal - 1)
Implied Probability: 1 / Decimal Odds x 100%
Frequently Asked Questions
How do decimal odds work?
Decimal odds express the gross return per $1 staked, stake included. A price of 2.50, for instance, returns $2.50 for each $1 wagered, which is $1.50 of net profit.
How do American odds work?
American odds are notated with + and - signs. A positive figure (+150) quantifies the profit on a $100 stake. A negative figure (-200) quantifies the stake required to net $100 in profit.
How do fractional odds work?
A fractional price such as 3/2 returns $3 of profit for every $2 staked. The numerator is the profit and the denominator is the stake.
What does implied probability mean?
Implied probability is the odds restated as a percentage, indicating how likely the bookmaker rates the outcome. The shorter the odds, the higher the implied probability.
