  1. Enter odds format and odds.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.

How it is calculated

First convert to decimal odds D, then implied probability = 1 ÷ D × 100. Fractional a/b: D = a/b + 1. American positive: D = 1 + A/100; negative: D = 1 + 100/|A|.

Example

Inputs: Odds format = Decimal (e.g. 2.50), Odds = 2.50. Result: Implied probability: 40%; Decimal odds: 2.5; Probability of not happening: 60%.

Limits and caveats

  • The probability comes from the quoted price and includes the margin of whoever set it, so the outcomes of one event usually add up to more than 100%.
  • It is not the true chance of the event and does not predict the result.

Questions about this tool

What is implied probability?

The chance the quoted odds reflect: decimal 2.00 means 50% and 4.00 means 25%.

Why do the probabilities add up to more than 100%?

The price setter adds a margin for itself, and the amount above 100% is that margin.

Do I need the + sign for American odds?

Not for positive numbers, but negative ones need the minus sign, such as −110.
