Why Convert Odds
Implied probability turns a price into an intuitive percentage. It helps compare your estimated chance of an outcome with the chance embedded in the market.
Negative American Odds
For negative odds, implied probability = |odds| / (|odds| + 100). At -110, the implied probability is about 52.4% before considering market margin.
Positive American Odds
For positive odds, implied probability = 100 / (odds + 100). At +150, the implied probability is 40%.
Decimal Odds
For decimal odds, implied probability = 1 / decimal odds. A decimal price of 2.00 implies 50%. Market prices often contain margin, so the probabilities across all outcomes can add to more than 100%.
