American Odds To Decimal
- We use the closet fraction that is used in betting markets. For example, the exact mathematical equivalent of decimal odds 30 is fractional odds 29/1. However 29/1 is not used in betting markets, instead 30/1 is used, so that is what appears in this converter.
- Converting American odds to decimal odds. The easiest way to convert American odds is to use an odds converter calculator. But if you’d like the formula, here it is: For positive American odds: American odds ÷ 100 + 1. For negative American odds: 100 ÷ American odds + 1. So, using our example again: +180 odds = 180 ÷ 100 + 1 = 2.8 -220 odds = 100 ÷ 220 + 1 = 1.45.
Decimal Odds – Decimal Odds, also referred to as European Odds, are used in most European countries and are the default option of many Asian bookies as well. This is the easiest odds format to understand as the odds represent how much a 1 unit wager returns. For example a €1 wager at odds. When converting decimal odds to American odds there are two different formulas depending on whether you are converting odds of 2.00 or higher or odds under 2.00. Converting odds of 2.00 or higher: You take (decimal odds -1). 100. Examples: Odds of 2.2 conversion (2.2 -1).100 = +120. Odds of 3.45 conversion (3.45 -1).100 = +245.

Decimal to Fractional
Remove 1 from the decimal and convert to a fraction, then reduce to simplest form:
(decimal-1) -> convert to fraction
Examples:
1.75: 1.75 – 1 = .75 = 75/100 = 3/4
2.20: 2.20 – 1 = 1.20 = 120/100 = 6/5
Decimal to American
To convert a decimal of 2.00 or higher:
moneyline = (decimal – 1) *100
Examples:
2.00: (2.00 – 1)*100 = 1*100 = +100
3.35: (3.35 – 1)*100 = 2.35*100 = +235
To convert a decimal of less than 2.00:
moneyline = (-100) / (decimal -1)
Examples:
1.9091 : (-100)/(1.9091 – 1) = (-100)/(0.9091) = -109.99 = -110
1.6579 : (-100)/(1.6579 – 1) = (-100)/(0.6579) = -151.98 = -152

Over 1/1: Convert Fraction to Decimal and multiply by 100.
Moneyline = (fraction value)*100
Examples:
7/4: (7/4) * 100 = (1.40) * 100 = +140
6/5: (6/5) * 100 = (1.20) * 100 = +120
Under 1/1: divide -100 by the Fraction as a Decimal.
Moneyline = -100/(fraction value)
Examples:
1/4: -100/(1/4) = -100/.25 = -400
1/10: -100/(1/10) = -100/.1 = -1000
Fractional to Decimal
Convert the fraction to a decimal and add one.
American Odds To Decimal
Examples:
3/4: (3/4) + 1 = (.75) + 1 = 1.75
6/5: (6/5) + 1 = (1.20) + 1 = 2.20
American to Decimal
Positive Odds (“+”): Divide the moneyline by 100 and add 1.
decimal = (moneyline/100) +1
Examples:
+100: (100/100) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.00
+235: (235/100) + 1 = 2.35 + 1 = 3.35
Negative Odds (“-“): Divide 100 by the moneyline, then add this value to 1.00.
decimal = (100/moneyline) + 1
Examples:
-110: (100/110) +1 = 1 + 0.9091 = 1.9091
-152: (100/152) +1 = 1 + 0.6579 = 1.6579

Positive Odds (“+”): Divide the moneyline by 100 and reduce to simplest form
(moneyline/100) -> simplest form
Examples:
+120: (120/100) = 6/5
+250: (250/100) = 5/2
Negative Odds (“-“): Divide 100 by the moneyline and reduce to simplest form
(100/moneyline) -> simplest form
How To Convert American Odds To Decimal Odds
Examples:
-120: (100/120) = 5/6
-300: (100/300) = 1/3
