How To Convert Odds
Football odds come in a number of formats. The most popular of these are decimal odds and fractional odds. While fractional odds are considered the most traditional form of football odds, decimal odds are certainly the most popular. Either way, Smartbets allows you to set your preferred odds format including not only decimal and fractional football odds, but also moneyline odds.
Decimal Odds
Decimal odds are presented in decimal format. For example, odds for a match between Manchester City and Tottenham would be listed in decimal format as:
| Manchester City 2.00 |
| Draw 3.40 |
| Tottenham 3.90 |
Decimal odds display what your profit will be if you bet on a certain outcome and your bet wins. We will discuss this in more detail shortly.
Fractional Odds
How do fractional odds differ from decimal odds? Using our previous example, fractional odds are presented in the following format:
| Manchester City 1/1 |
| Draw 12/5 |
| Tottenham 29/10 |
Fractional odds display the amount you will receive in profit, given an amount staked. As with decimals, we will discuss this in more detail shortly. Smartbets also offers odds displayed in Moneyline format. You can learn more about Moneyline odds here.
To convert decimal odds to fractional odds or vice versa, use this odds conversion tool.
Football Betting Payout
So how much do you stand to win from your football bets today? Whichever odds format you prefer to use, calculating your profit from a winning bet is easy.
Decimal Odds
As discussed earlier, decimal odds are presented in decimal format. For example, odds for a match between Arsenal and Manchester United would be listed in decimal format as:
| Arsenal 2.25 |
| Draw 3.25 |
| Manchester United 3.60 |
The odds show you what your profit will be if you bet on a certain outcome and that bet wins.
For example, if you bet £20 on Arsenal to win the match at odds of 2.25, your profit can be calculated as:
Profit = (Odds x Stake) - Stake
So in our example, if Arsenal win the match we make a profit of:
| Profit = (2.25 x £20) - £20 |
| Profit = £45 - £20 |
| Profit = £25 |
So if we bet £20 on Arsenal to win the match at odds of 2.25, and the Gunners win the match, we make a profit of £25.
Fractional Odds
Using our previous example, fractional odds are presented in the following format:
| Arsenal 5/4 |
| Draw 9/4 |
| Manchester United 13/5 |
Fractional odds display the amount you will make in profit, given an amount staked.
The first number in fractional odds is referred to as the numerator, while the last number is referred to the denominator. So in our example, Arsenal are at odds of 5/4, meaning the numerator is 5 and the denominator is 4.
Calculating your profit from fractional odds is therefore easy and can be done using the following formula:
Profit = (numerator / denominator) x stake
So again using our previous example, if we place a £20 bet on Arsenal at odds of 5/4 and Arsenal wins the match we make a profit of:
| Profit = (5/4) x £20 |
| Profit = 1.25 x £20 |
| Profit = £25 2 |

Odds Comparison
Using a football odds comparison site such as Smartbets is crucial to successful betting. If you want to make consistent profits from your football betting, then you must continually take the best odds available. And the only way to do that is by using football odds comparison sites.
What are football comparison sites? Simply put, football comparison sites provide you with football odds across a wide range of markets, so you can see which bookmakers are offering the best odds for the match you want to bet on.
As a football odds comparison site, Smartbets lists football odds across a diverse range of bookmakers, many you no doubt already know and others we recommend you consider adding to your bookmaker portfolio.
Let’s consider a simple betting odds comparison football example. Let’s say you want to bet on a certain outcome for a particular match, for example, Over 2.5 goals in an upcoming Champions League match. You can find the best odds for that outcome by following Smartbets.
If you’re new to football betting, you may view a football odds comparison site and be wondering - why is there such a diverse range of odds available for a single outcome?
For example, the odds for Over 2.5 goals in our Champions League match may vary between odds of 1.75 and odds of 1.85.
So what explains the variation in football odds?
Firstly, it can simply be a matter of opinion. One bookmaker believes the chances of the match going over 2.5 goals (odds of 1.75) are greater than that of another bookmaker (odds of 1.85).
Secondly, both bookmakers may have opened their Over 2.5 goals market at odds of 1.85. One bookmaker has attracted a greater weight of money on Over 2.5 goals, seeing their odds drop to 1.75 as a result.
Thirdly, it can simply be a matter of payout. One bookmaker is offering the better odds simply because they are offering a better payout on that market than competing bookmakers.
How to compile football odds?
Who decides what the odds for a football match should be? Football odds are typically set by employing an array of statistical categories to assess the potential of each team in a given competition.
