Sports With The Best Odds

Understanding Betting Odds

When you visit a sportsbook, the odds indicate how much you can win if you place a successful wager on the outcome. The shorter the odds, the more likely the result will be, while longer odds indicate a much more unlikely outcome.  

For instance, if Manchester City face Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup, City will likely be priced as odds-on favourites, perhaps at 1/25 to win. You could get the Harriers at much longer odds, perhaps at 50/1, to win the match.  

In the UK, most betting odds are given in fractions, as above. But you may also come across decimal odds or American odds. Decimal odds are easy to understand, indicating how much you will win for every £1.00 wagered. So, if you bet on a team to win at 5.00, a £1.00 stake will return £5.00.  

American odds are slightly more complex. Presented in three digits with a plus or minus, they indicate the favourite and the underdog differently. For example:  

New England Patriots (+150) vs Kansas City Chiefs (-150)  

Here, the Chiefs are favourites to beat the Patriots, as we can see by their negative odds. This indicates that you must bet £150 to win £100 on the Chiefs. A £100 wager would deliver a £150 return if you fancy the Patriots.
