Formula
Negative moneyline (favourite, e.g., -150): To-win = Risk × (100 / |odds|)
Positive moneyline (underdog, e.g., +220): To-win = Risk × (odds / 100)
Decimal Odds = (|odds| + 100) / 100 if positive, (100 / |odds|) + 1 if negative.
Implied Probability = 1 / Decimal Odds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a moneyline bet work?
A moneyline bet backs the outright winner of an event, with no spread or handicap applied — you simply select the team or player to win. American moneyline odds quantify the stake needed to win $100 (favourite) or the profit returned on a $100 stake (underdog).
How do you read -150?
A negative number marks the favourite. -150 requires a $150 stake to win $100, equivalent to $1.50 risked per $1 of target profit. That maps to an implied probability of roughly 60%.
How do you read +220?
A positive number marks the underdog. +220 returns $220 of profit on a $100 stake, for a total payout of $320. The implied probability is about 31%.
What is the formula to convert moneyline to decimal odds?
Positive odds: divide by 100 and add 1, so +150 = 2.50 decimal. Negative odds: divide 100 by the absolute value and add 1, so -150 = (100/150) + 1 = 1.667.
