What is Decimal Odds?
Odds format used in Europe and Australia where the number represents total return per unit staked.
Definition
Decimal odds (e.g. 2.10) show the total return per 1 unit staked, including the original stake. They are the easiest format for comparing prices across bookmakers and for converting to implied probability — simply divide 1 by the decimal odds. Every regulated European bookmaker displays decimal by default, and Fan Bet Odds uses decimal as the comparison standard across all match and market pages.
Example
Decimal odds of 2.10 on Brazil mean a $100 stake returns $210 ($110 profit). Implied probability = 1 / 2.10 = 47.6%.
