Odds Converter: Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
How odds conversion works
Decimal, fractional and American odds are different ways of expressing the same market price. The calculator converts the entered price to decimal odds first, then derives the other formats, raw implied probability, profit and total return from that decimal value.
One decimal example
Input: decimal odds 2.50 with a 100-unit stake.
2.50 converts to fractional odds of 3/2 and American odds of +150. The raw implied probability is 40.00%. Profit is 150.00 units and total return is 250.00 units.
One fractional example
Input: fractional odds 10/11 with a 100-unit stake.
10/11 converts to decimal odds of 1.9091 and American odds of -110. The raw implied probability is 52.38%. Profit is about 90.91 units and total return is about 190.91 units.
One American example
Input: American odds -120 with a 100-unit stake.
-120 converts to decimal odds of 1.8333 and fractional odds of 5/6. The raw implied probability is 54.55%. Profit is about 83.33 units and total return is about 183.33 units.
Conversion limitations
- A single price does not remove bookmaker margin. Raw implied probability describes the entered odds only; it is not a no-vig probability for the full market.
- Equivalent formats can require rounding. Some decimal prices do not map neatly to whole-number American odds or a short fractional quote. Fractional output is approximated with a denominator up to 1000 when an exact compact fraction is not available.
- The calculator does not judge whether a bet has value. Price conversion and expected value are separate questions because expected value also requires your own probability estimate.
- Profit and return are mechanical stake calculations. They do not model voids, pushes, partial settlements, cash-out, exchange commission, bonuses or operator-specific settlement rules.

FAQ
Can I enter decimal odds with a comma?
Yes. Inputs such as 1,91 are normalised to 1.91 before calculation.
Why can 1.91 and -110 produce slightly different decimal values?
Because -110 converts to about 1.9091, while 1.91 is a separately rounded decimal quote. They are close market prices, but they are not mathematically identical.
Why can a fractional result be marked as approximate?
Some decimal prices cannot be represented cleanly as a short fraction. The converter finds a close fractional equivalent while preserving the original decimal price for probability and payout calculations.
Is the stake required for odds conversion?
No. Odds formats and implied probability can be converted without a stake. A stake is needed only for the profit and total-return outputs.
Does changing odds format change the underlying price?
No. Decimal, fractional and American formats are alternate representations of the same price, subject only to normal display rounding.
