A 1-unit stake at these odds returns 3.5 in total (2.5 profit) if it wins. The odds imply a 28.57% chance; a bet only has positive expected value if the true chance is higher than that, and bookmakers' prices include a margin, so implied chances across all outcomes add up to more than 100%.

Decimal odds (total return per 1 staked)
d=1+25=3.5
Worked as exact fractions, so no rounding creeps in between formats.
Decimal odds d are the total return per 1 staked, stake included. Fractional odds a/b give the profit per stake, so d = 1 + a/b. American odds are +100(d − 1) when d is 2 or more and −100/(d − 1) when d is below 2, and the implied probability is 1/d. Every conversion runs through exact fractions, so 10/11 stays 10/11 instead of becoming 0.909…
The default, 5/2, is decimal 3.5 and American +250: a 1-unit stake returns 3.5 if it wins, 2.5 of it profit, and the price implies a 28.57% chance. A −110 line, common on US point spreads, implies 52.38%, the win rate needed to break even.
Implied probability describes the price, not the true chance. Bookmakers build a margin into their prices, so the implied probabilities of all outcomes in a market add up to more than 100%.

자주 묻는 질문
How do you convert fractional odds to decimal odds?
Divide the first number by the second and add 1: d = a/b + 1. So 5/2 becomes 3.5, 1/2 becomes 1.5 and evens (1/1) becomes 2.0. The 1 is the returned stake: fractional odds quote profit only, while decimal odds quote the total return, so a winning 10-unit bet at 5/2 or 3.5 pays back 35 in both cases.
How do American (moneyline) odds work?
A plus number is the profit on a 100 stake and a minus number is the stake needed to win 100. At +250, 100 staked wins 250 profit (decimal 3.5); at −150, 150 staked wins 100 (decimal 1.667). +100 and −100 both mean evens, and no American odds exist between −100 and +100.
How do you convert odds to implied probability?
Divide 1 by the decimal odds: p = 1/d. Decimal 3.5 implies 1/3.5 = 28.57%. For fractional odds a/b the shortcut is b/(a + b), so 5/2 gives 2/7. For American −110 it is 110/(110 + 100) = 52.38%, and for +250 it is 100/(250 + 100) = 28.57%.
What is the overround or bookmaker's margin?
The overround is how far the implied probabilities of every outcome in a market add up past 100%. With both sides of a bet priced at −110, the total is 52.38% + 52.38% = 104.76%, an overround of 4.76% and a bookmaker margin (vig) of 1 − 1/1.0476 = 4.55% of stakes. Dividing each implied probability by the total, 52.38/104.76, removes the margin and gives 50%.
What do odds-on and odds against mean?
Odds-on means the implied probability is above 50%: fractional odds below 1/1, decimal odds below 2.0 and negative American odds. At 1/2 odds-on (1.5, or −200) you stake 2 to win 1, an implied 66.67%. Odds against is the reverse: 5/2 (3.5, or +250) pays more than the stake and implies less than 50%.
“Odds converter (fractional, decimal, American, probability)”의 정확도는 어느 정도인가요?
정확도는 입력값과 계산 방법의 가정에 따라 달라집니다. 십진 연산은 유효숫자 50자리를 사용하지만, 추정값·수치해석 방법·원본 데이터의 정밀도는 더 낮을 수 있습니다. 표시값을 반올림해도 이러한 한계는 사라지지 않습니다. 독립적인 출처의 풀이와 대조한 계산 예시: 5. 예를 들어 “5/2 (defaults)”은 d = 1 + 5/2; p = 2/7 = 28.571%; American +100 × 2.5 (standard conversion tables)와 대조해 확인합니다.
