How betting odds work

Editorial standards

Odds tell you two things: how likely an outcome is, and how much you win. Most African sites use decimal odds.

Decimal odds

Your potential return = stake × odds. A GHS 10 bet at odds of 2.50 returns GHS 25 (a GHS 15 profit plus your stake).

Implied probability

Divide 1 by the odds: 1 / 2.50 = 0.40, or a 40% implied chance. Comparing your own estimate to the implied probability is the core of finding value.
