Sports Betting Odds Explained.
Many people don’t know how to read or calculate sports betting odds, so below we have done our best on explaining how betting odds work. The most common type of sports betting odds used in North America are the American style odds which we explain below.
American Style Sports Betting Odds.
Most online sportsbooks will list their odds in what is called “American Odds”. There are a couple different versions of sports betting odds, but these American Odds are the most common odds used. Reading and understanding sports betting odds can bet a little confusing to beginners, so we have provided an example below using two NFL football teams:
American Odds.
The number shown in the bracket represents the odds. The American Odds have two components to them, the first being the positive or negative sign, and the second being the number that follows the sign.
The next step is figuring out exactly how much the bet pays out, which is where the numbers in the odds come into play.
A listed odd with a – sign in front of it, such as the -140 in our example above, shows us how much money you would need to wager in order to win $100. So using the -140, this would show us that you would need to bet $140 in order to win $100 in profits. You can easily substitute the $100 bet for a $10 bet by moving the decimal place over one spot, showing us that you would need to wager $14 in order to win $10 in profits.

Below is an example of NFL betting odds taken from an online betting site.
The great thing about betting online is that the online sportsbooks will do the calculations for you before you place your bet. You can click on the outcome or team you would like to bet on, and then input the amount you wish to wager and it will show you your potential pay out before you confirm your bet.

Decimal Style Sports Betting Odds.
Decimal style odds are used mostly in Europe, and are pretty easy to understand. To calculate the decimal style odds all you will need to do is simply multiply the amount you wish to wager by the decimal odds shown and you will get your payout. For example it may look something like this:
Decimal Odds.
Matchup Odds USA 2.40 Brazil 1.55.
If you wanted to place a $10 wager on the USA at 2.40 you would simply need to multiply your $10 wager by the 2.40 odds (10 x 2.40) to find out that the payout is $24. It is important to realize that with decimal style odds it includes the amount you wagered, so to find out profits you would need to subtract your wager ($24 – $10) to find out your potential payout is $14 in profits.
If you wanted to place a $10 wager on Brazil you would again just multiply $10 x 1.55 to find out that you would win $15.50 total or $5.50 in profits.
Decimal style betting odds are very simple to understand, but you won’t see them displayed in many North American sportsbooks. With that said, most online betting sites will allow you to chose the style of betting odds you want displayed, with American odds set as the default.
Betting Odds Calculator.
The betting odds calculator allows you to input your stake & odds in American, Decimal, or Fractional formats to quickly calculate the payout for your bets.

American Odds are the default odds at American sportsbooks. These odds are based on winning $100 for a given bet.
Betting a Favorite: The odds for favorites will have a minus (-) sign , and represent the money you need to risk to win $100 .
So if you're betting on the Packers at -140 against the Vikings, that means Green Bay is a slight favorite. You need to risk $140 to win $100 on the Packers. If they win, you profit $100 and get your original $140 back.
The rest of the world uses Decimal Odds , in part because it’s easier to convert them to implied probabilities than American Odds. Decimal odds represent the amount a bettor wins for every $1 wagered . And the number represents the total return , not just the profit like American and fractional odds.
The Packers would be 1.714 in decimal odds as a -140 favorite in American odds. For every $1 risked, you’re profiting 71.4 cents, plus your $1 back.
Fractional Odds are used primarily in the UK and Ireland. Few bettors use fractional odds for betting sports (other than horse racing), because the conversions to understand return are difficult.
To calculate winnings on fractional odds, multiply your bet by the top number (numerator), then divide the result by the bottom (denominator). So a $10 bet at 5/2 odds is (10 * 5) / 2, which equals $25. A $10 bet at 2/5 odds is (10 * 2) / 5, which is $4.
Did you notice those percentages add up to more than 100%? That’s because of the vig, which is a sportsbook’s cut for facilitating your bet. To calculate implied probability, use the following formulas:
For negative numbers (favorites), drop the minus sign, then do:
For positive numbers (underdogs) :
The bet amount is how much you’re risking on a given bet. As a responsible bettor, it is important to understand proper bankroll management.

The Weeknd Super Bowl Halftime Show 2021 Odds and Betting Games.
Featured Columnist February 6, 2021 Comments Comment Bubble Icon.
For some casual fans, Sunday's contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't be the highlight of Super Bowl LV. Non-football fans often tune in just for the halftime performance. With multiple Grammy-winning singer-songwriter The Weeknd handling halftime duties, this year is unlikely to be any different.
The Weeknd—whose real name is Abel Tesfaye—has spent the past several months engaged in an extended performance-art routine. He's shifted in and out of an alternate character, at times appearing and performing with a bloodied face or bandages on his head. He also wore facial prosthetics in the music video for "Save Your Tears."
In an interview with Jem Aswad of Variety, The Weeknd explained some of the significance behind the performances.
"The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated," he said.
Given The Weeknd's dive into the realm of social commentary, it's hard to predict what fans will get from Sunday's performance. One thing we do know is that fans won't be getting a typical stage performance. Because of COVID-19 safety protocols, The Weeknd will not appear on the field.
"Only in the stands and nothing in the field," one source said, per Ian Mohr of Page Six. "It's really phenomenal, different and historic."
While The Weeknd's performance may be unusual, one aspect will remain familiar to many fans. Prop bets will be an option. Here, we'll examine some of the top props available at Bovada.
Super Bowl LV Halftime Show Pros.
Will The Weeknd Mention Donald Trump?
Will The Weeknd Mention Canada?
Will a Football Be Used as a Prop?
Will The Weeknd Mention Joe Biden?
Typically, bettors will find props involving potential guest artists—and for good reason. Surprises performers often pop up during the halftime show, as Bad Bunny did last year when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez headlined the show.
These surprises can still emerge even when only one artist has been confirmed. However, in this year's case, it really seems like The Weeknd will go at it solo.
"There wasn't any room to fit it in the narrative and the story I was telling in the performance. So there's no special guests, no," The Weeknd told NFL Network.
It seems that The Weeknd will indeed continue with the same performance-art storyline that he has woven into his album After Hours and its lead-up. Apparently, that means no surprise guests, which is why props involving artists like Drake and Kenny G are no longer listed by most oddsmakers.
Therefore, bettors will likely be limited to props involving what The Weeknd himself says and does during his performance. Given his penchant for the unpredictable, there's no telling what that might entail.
