Betting guide

Understand decimal odds, implied probability, margin and why price matters.

What the concept means

Decimal odds show the total return for each unit staked, including the original stake.

Implied probability equals 1 divided by decimal odds. The sum across all outcomes usually exceeds 100% because the market contains margin.

A likely outcome can still be a poor bet when the price is too short. Judge probability and price together.
