Wins over total outcomes

Odds of a wins to b losses describe a + b equally weighted outcomes, so the implied probability is a/(a+b). Enter the counts directly: odds of 1 win to 3 losses give 1/4 = 25%. Betting fractional odds like 3/1 mean 1 win per 3 losses, so enter a = 1, b = 3.

The bookmaker's margin

Convert every outcome's odds in a market to probabilities and add them: honest odds sum to 100%, but bookmakers' odds sum to more, often 105-110%. The excess is their margin, the overround.

Odds to Probability FAQs

What probability do 3/1 betting odds imply?
25%. Fractional odds of 3/1 mean 1 win per 3 losses: enter a = 1 (wins), b = 3 (losses) and the tool shows 1/(1+3) = 25%.
How do I convert 25% back to odds?
Switch to Probability to odds mode and enter 25: you get 0.333 to 1, usually written 1/3.
What is implied probability?
The probability the odds suggest: wins divided by wins plus losses. Comparing it with your own estimate of the chance is how value bets are found.
What does 1 in X mean?
Another phrasing of the same chance: 25% is 1 in 4. The tool shows it next to every conversion.
