Decimal Odds

Also called: European odds

Decimal odds express the TOTAL return per £1 staked, including the stake itself — not just the profit.

Multiply stake by the odds for the total return; subtract the stake for profit. 2.00 is even money.

In this demo

Every price in Bets.tv is decimal, shown in a monospace font in the ticker, the market panels, the bet slip and My Bets.

The chance of an outcome implied by its price. Divide 1 by the decimal odds and multiply by 100.

The stake is the amount risked; the potential return is stake × decimal odds and INCLUDES the stake back, so profit is the return minus the stake.

Prices move as money arrives and as the match state changes, reflecting the market's changing opinion.
