How it works

Implied probability is 1 divided by the decimal odds: odds of 2.50 imply a 40% chance. Fractional odds 6/4 are the profit per unit staked, so they equal decimal 2.50; American +150 means a 100 stake wins 150, also 2.50.

Bookmaker margin: add up the implied probabilities of every outcome. Anything above 100% is the bookmaker's margin. Dividing it back out gives the fair odds, the price at which a bet would break even in the long run.

A bet has value when your own estimate of the probability is higher than the fair implied probability. See our value bets for matches where our model and the bookmaker disagree.
