Odds converter

Convert a sportsbook price between American and decimal odds without changing the bet.

Enter a price of +100 or higher, or −100 or lower.

Your calculation

A worked example

American +150 converts to decimal 2.50: 1 + 150 ÷ 100. American −200 converts to decimal 1.50: 1 + 100 ÷ 200. In both formats, the price describes a payout, not a prediction.

The math

Positive American → decimal: 1 + odds ÷ 100. Negative American → decimal: 1 + 100 ÷ absolute odds. Decimal ≥ 2 → American: (decimal − 1) × 100. Decimal < 2 → American: −100 ÷ (decimal − 1).

Common questions

Does decimal 2.50 mean 250% profit?

No. It means a total return of 2.5 times the stake, including the stake. Profit is 1.5 times the stake.

Why can converted American odds have decimals?

A precise decimal quote does not always convert to a whole American number. The result shows a rounded conversion, not necessarily a price a sportsbook offers.

Can I enter decimal 1.00?

No. Decimal odds must be greater than 1 in this cash-stake calculator. A price of 1.00 would only return the stake if the bet wins.
