Useful Formulae

Quick formulae for odds comparisons and percentage chances

To convert odds into a percentage chance

(2nd part of price/Total of both halves of price) x 100 = percentage chance

Worked example: 6/4

4/10 x 100 = 40%

To convert a decimal price into a percentage chance

(1/decimal price) x 100 = percentage chance

Worked example: 2.50

1/2.50 x 100 = 40%

To convert a percentage chance into a decimal price

100/percentage chance = decimal price

Worked example: 40%

100/40 = 2.50

To convert a percentage chance into odds/1

(100/percentage chance) -1 = odds/1

Worked example: 40%

(100/40) -1 = 1.50/1
