5 6 Odds In Decimal
Betting odds explained
6/5: (6/5) + 1 = (1.20) + 1 = 2.20. American to Decimal. Positive Odds (“+”): Divide the moneyline by 100 and add 1. Decimal = (moneyline/100) +1. Examples: +100: (100/100) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.00 +235: (235/100) + 1 = 2.35 + 1 = 3.35. Negative Odds (“-“): Divide 100 by the moneyline, then add this value to 1.00. Decimal = (100/moneyline) + 1. Out of interest if you want to convert US odds to decimal odds, when it is a negative figure in this example -150, divide 100 by the quote and then add one. So it is 100 divided by 150 (don’t use the negative!) + 1 = 1.67 decimal odds. Decimals quote the potential return should the bet succeed, relative to the stake. For example if £5 is bet at odds of 3 the total returned is £15 (£5. 3) the potential profit is £10 (£5. 3 minus the £5 stake). Positive figures: The odds state the winnings on a £100 bet e.g. American odds of 110 would win £110 on a £100 bet.

How do odds work?
When looking at the odds (price) of a horse, the two formats used are decimals and fractions. Betting exchanges operate in decimals, whereas fixed-odds betting firms generally operate in fractions.
When determining the returns of a fractional bet, the second number always suggests the stake and the first number denotes what the profit will be if the bet wins. Take 4/1 as an example. If you stake £1 on a horse, then you stand to win £4 if the selection wins the race, which excludes your initial stake. In contrast, the decimal format factors in the initial stake. Betting odds of 4/1 would equate to 5.0 in decimal terms, 5/1 would be 6.0, and so forth.
See the chart below for a breakdown of betting odds in both fractional and decimal format, showing forecasted returns to £5 level stakes for the key prices in a market.
