How Decimal Odds Work

bj777 and most books here show decimal odds. At odds of 2.10, each unit you stake comes back as 2.10, and that figure already contains your original stake. That makes ৳100 at 2.10 worth ৳210 if it lands - ৳110 in profit on top of the ৳100 you get back.

Bigger vs smaller numbers

A bigger figure flags a less probable outcome, while a smaller one shows the book sees it as nearly certain. A short price such as 1.30 returns little precisely because the result is expected; a long 5.00 shot pays well because it rarely lands.

Odds as probability

To find the implied chance, take 1 divided by the odds: 1 ÷ 2.00 is 50%, 1 ÷ 4.00 is 25%. Treat it as a fast gut-check: when your own view of the game is far from the implied chance, that gap is where a price earns your bet or does not. Try it on the Bet page.
