Find Best Odds

What is this tool?

The Odds Converter is a tool that translates betting prices between different formats. Depending on where you live or which sportsbook you use, you might see American Odds (-110), Decimal Odds (1.91), or Fractional Odds (10/11). Regardless of the format, they all represent the same thing: the probability of an event occurring and the potential payout. This tool bridges the gap, allowing you to compare lines from US, European, and UK bookmakers seamlessly.

How to use it

Simply enter a value into any of the input fields. The tool automatically detects the format and updates all other fields instantly. For example, typing '-150' in the American field will instantly populate '1.67' in Decimal, '2/3' in Fractional, and '60%' in Implied Probability. You can also enter a custom 'Stake Amount' to see exactly how much you would win.

Understanding Odds Formats

Sports betting is a global market, and different regions have developed their own "languages" for expressing risk and reward. To be a sharp bettor, you must be fluent in all of them (or use this tool).

United States

American Odds

Centered around $100.

  • Favorites (-): How much you must bet to win $100 (e.g. -110).
  • Underdogs (+): How much you win if you bet $100 (e.g. +200).
Europe / Canada

Decimal Odds

The simplest format. Represents the Total Payout (Stake + Profit).

  • Formula: Stake × Decimal = Payout
  • Example: $10 × 2.50 = $25.00 Total Return.
UK / Ireland

Fractional Odds

Represents Profit / Stake.

  • 5/1: Win $5 for every $1 wagered.
  • 10/11: Win $10 for every $11 wagered.

Real-World Application: The "Break-Even" Analysis

One of the most powerful uses of an odds converter is quickly determining the break-even percentage required for a bet. Professional bettors rarely think in terms of "Will this team win?". They think, "Is the probability of this team winning higher than the implied probability of the odds?"

Scenario: The Underdog

You see the Detroit Lions at +140. Is this a good bet?

  • Convert: Input +140 into the converter.
  • Implied Probability: The tool shows 41.67%.
  • Analysis: Do you believe the Lions win this game more than 42 times out of 100? If your model says they win 45% of the time, this is a +EV bet. If you think they only win 35% of the time, it's a bad bet, even if you "like" them.

Conversion Formulas

While our calculator does this instantly, knowing the math helps you spot value on the fly.

American to Decimal

Negative (-)

(100 / Odds) + 1

Ex: 100/110 + 1 = 1.91

Positive (+)

(Odds / 100) + 1

Ex: 200/100 + 1 = 3.00

Decimal to Implied Probability

Win Percentage

(1 / Decimal Odds) * 100

Ex: 1 / 2.00 = 0.50 (50%)

Why Line Shopping Matters

Using an odds converter is essential for Arbitrage Betting and Line Shopping. Often, a European bookmaker (like Pinnacle) might list odds in Decimal format (e.g. 2.10), while a US bookmaker (like FanDuel) lists them in American format (e.g. +105).

Without converting, it's hard to see the difference.
• Pinnacle: 2.10 (+110)
• FanDuel: +105 (2.05)
Converting revealing that Pinnacle is paying significantly more for the exact same bet. Over a season, taking the 2.10 instead of 2.05 can be the difference between profit and loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Decimal and American odds?
Decimal odds represent the total payout (stake + profit) for every $1 wagered. American odds center around $100, using a plus (+) for underdogs to show profit on a $100 bet, and a minus (-) for favorites to show how much you must bet to win $100.
How do I convert negative American odds to Decimal?
Take 100, divide it by the American odds value (ignoring the negative sign), and add 1. For example, for -200 odds: (100 / 200) + 1 = 1.50.
How do I calculate implied probability?
The easiest way is to convert to Decimal odds first, then divide 1 by that number. For American -110 odds (Decimal 1.91), the probability is 1 ÷ 1.91 = 0.5238 or 52.38%.
What does 'Even Money' mean?
Even Money means a bet with no vigorish (juice) relative to a 50/50 outcome, or simply a bet that doubles your money. In American odds, it is +100. In Decimal odds, it is 2.00. In Fractional, it is 1/1.
Why do sportsbooks use different formats?
It is largely historical and cultural. The UK has a long tradition of horse racing where Fractional is standard. Continental Europe and Australia prefer the mathematical simplicity of Decimal. The US prefers American odds to highlight the favorite/underdog relationship clearly.
