Decimal odds are easy to calculate

Liverpool VS Leicester FC, placing a R10 Bet

  • Liverpool to win Odds 1.98 – Potential Return R19.80
  • Leicester to win Odds 3.57 – Potential Return R35.70
  • Draw Odds 3.78 – Potential Return R37.80

When you place a bet on a decimal odd you multiply your bet amount with the odd, for example above for Liverpool to win R10 x 1.98 = R19.80

Fractional odds mean some maths

Fractional odds mean a little more maths is required but the formula is still rather simple. To calculate you need to multiply your bet by the top number and then divide by the bottom number.

Placing a R10 bet on Liverpool 5/2 Leicester, you would (R10 x 5)/2 gives you a potential return of R25.
