What are Fractional Odds?
Fractional odds (also called UK odds or traditional odds) represent the profit you will receive for a given stake. For example, odds of 5/2 mean you'll win $5 for every $2 wagered, plus your original stake back.
📊 How Fractional Odds Work
- 5/2 (5-to-2): Win $5 for every $2 staked
- 3/1 (3-to-1): Win $3 for every $1 staked
- 1/4 (1-to-4): Win $1 for every $4 staked
🔢 Conversion Formula
Decimal = (Numerator ÷ Denominator) + 1
Example: 5/2 = (5 ÷ 2) + 1 = 3.50
The "+1" accounts for your original stake being returned.
