The Mathematics

Understanding probability calculations

Odds to Probability

P = (1 ÷ Odds) × 100

2.00 → (1 ÷ 2.00) × 100 = 50%

Probability to Odds

Odds = 100 ÷ P

50% → 100 ÷ 50 = 2.00

Margin Calculation

M = Sum(P) - 100%

Sum all probabilities, subtract 100%

Fair Odds Formula

Fair = Total ÷ Implied

Divide implied prob by total prob, then calculate odds

Understanding Implied Probability

📊

What is Implied Probability?

Implied probability converts betting odds into a percentage chance. It shows what the bookmaker believes is the likelihood of an outcome.

Odds 2.00 = 50% chance
💰

What is Bookmaker Margin?

The margin (vig/juice) is the bookmaker's built-in profit. If probabilities add up to more than 100%, the excess is their edge.

52.6% + 52.6% = 105.2% (5.2% margin)
⚖️

What are Fair Odds?

Fair odds are what the odds would be without any bookmaker margin. They represent the true implied probability.

1.90 with margin → 2.00 fair odds
🎯

How to Use This

Compare implied probability to your own estimate. If you think an outcome is more likely than the odds suggest, you may have found value.

Your estimate: 55%, Implied: 50% = Value bet

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Implied probability is the chance of an outcome winning according to the betting odds. For decimal odds, divide 1 by the odds and multiply by 100. For example, odds of 2.00 imply a 50% probability (1/2.00 × 100).
Use the formula: Implied Probability = (1 ÷ Decimal Odds) × 100. For odds of 1.50, that's (1 ÷ 1.50) × 100 = 66.67% implied probability.
Lower is better. Sharp bookmakers like Pinnacle offer 2-3% margins. Traditional bookies often have 5-6% margins. Recreational books can be 8-10% or higher on some markets.
Compare the implied probability to your own estimate. If you believe an outcome has a 60% chance but the implied probability is only 50%, that's a potential value bet.
The excess over 100% is the bookmaker's margin (overround). It's how they guarantee profit regardless of the outcome. A fair market would add to exactly 100%.
Implied probability includes the bookmaker margin, so it overestimates likelihoods. True probability is your assessment of actual chances. The gap between them indicates potential value.
Use the formula: Decimal Odds = 100 ÷ Probability. For a 40% probability, that's 100 ÷ 40 = 2.50 decimal odds.
