Odds are not guarantees of an outcome. They can change as new information becomes available, so it is important to understand the market, price and applicable rules.

How Decimal Odds Work

Decimal odds show the total return relative to the original stake. For example, decimal odds of 2.00 indicate a total return of 2.00 times the original stake, subject to applicable rules.

Read the Decimal Price

Identify the number displayed for the selection.

Understand the Return

Multiply the stake by the decimal price to understand the total return before applicable deductions.

Consider the Market Rules

Settlement conditions can vary between markets, so read the applicable terms.

Odds and Implied Probability

For decimal odds, the basic implied probability can be calculated using the following formula:

Implied Probability = 1 ÷ Decimal Odds × 100

Example

1 ÷ 2.00 × 100 = 50% basic implied probability.

Important

This calculation does not mean the event is guaranteed to have a 50% chance. Market prices can include a margin.

Common Cricket Odds Formats

The same underlying price can be displayed in different formats.
