Converted Odds
What Is an Odds Converter?
Betting odds can appear in several different formats depending on the bookmaker and the region. In the United Kingdom, fractional odds are traditionally used, especially for horse racing and many sports markets. However, international sportsbooks and betting exchanges often display decimal odds or American odds.
Our Odds Converter helps you instantly convert between all three major formats so you can quickly understand the true value of a bet.
Whether you are checking football odds, comparing horse racing prices, or analysing betting markets across different bookmakers, this tool allows you to translate odds formats in seconds.
Understanding the Main Betting Odds Formats
Bookmakers around the world use three primary ways of displaying betting odds.
Fractional Odds
Fractional odds are the traditional format used by British bookmakers. They show how much profit you will win relative to your stake.
For example:
7/4
This means you win £7 profit for every £4 staked, plus your original stake.
Fractional odds are particularly common in horse racing, greyhound racing, and many UK sportsbooks.
Decimal Odds
Decimal odds are widely used in Europe, Canada and many online betting platforms.
Example:
2.75
A £10 bet would return £27.50 in total, including your stake.
Decimal odds are popular because they make it very easy to calculate potential returns.
American Odds
American odds, sometimes called moneyline odds, are mostly used by sportsbooks in the United States.
Example:
+200
A £100 bet would return £200 profit.
Example:
-150
You would need to stake £150 to win £100 profit.

If you follow multiple sportsbooks or compare odds across different markets, you will often encounter several odds formats.
An odds converter allows you to:

For many bettors, converting odds helps identify better prices and potential value bets.
