Quick Examples
What are Decimal Odds?
Decimal odds (also called European odds or Australian odds) represent your total return for a $1 bet, including your stake. For example, odds of 3.50 mean you'll receive $3.50 back for every $1 wagered (including your original stake).
📊 How Decimal Odds Work
- 3.50: Win $2.50 profit + $1 stake = $3.50 total
- 4.00: Win $3 profit + $1 stake = $4.00 total
- 1.50: Win $0.50 profit + $1 stake = $1.50 total
🔢 Conversion Formula
Fractional = (Decimal - 1) simplified
Example: 3.50 = (3.50 - 1) = 2.50 = 5/2
The "-1" removes your stake from the calculation.
🌍 Where They're Used
- Europe (most countries)
- Australia & New Zealand
- Canada
- Most online bookmakers

Key Difference: Stake vs. Total Return
Decimal Odds (3.50)
Shows: Total Return
$10 stake × 3.50 = $35 total return
($25 profit + $10 stake back)
Fractional Odds (5/2)
Shows: Profit Only
$10 stake at 5/2 = $25 profit
(Plus $10 stake returned separately)
