๐Ÿ“– How to read the odds โ€” decimal, American & implied %

A quick guide to the odds in our MrAnalyst match previews. We show three ways of saying the same thing:

Decimal (e.g. 1.39) โ€” your total return per 1 unit staked: stake 1 โ†’ get 1.39 back (0.39 profit). Lower = bigger favourite.

American / moneyline (e.g. -256 / +384) โ€” negative = favourite (risk that amount to win 100); positive = underdog (stake 100 to win that amount).

Implied probability (e.g. 72%) โ€” the chance the price implies: 1 รท decimal.

Worked example โ€” Austria vs Jordan

Implied Decimal American
Austria 72% 1.39 โˆ’256
Draw 21% 4.84 +384
Jordan 12% 8.46 +746

The implied percentages add up to ~105%, not 100% โ€” that extra ~5% is the bookmakersโ€™ built-in margin (the overround, or vig).

Our previews use a consensus across ~47 bookmakers and flag the best available price per outcome. Odds are shown for information only โ€” not betting advice.
