Decimal Odds, Explained
a880 shows decimal odds by default, and once one example clicks, every price on the board reads the same way. There is only one sum to learn.
The one calculation
Multiply your stake by the decimal price to get your total return, stake included. So ৳100 at 2.10 returns ৳210 - that is ৳110 of profit plus your ৳100 back. At 1.50 the same ৳100 returns ৳150; at 3.00 it returns ৳300. The profit is simply the total minus your stake.
Reading likelihood from the price
Smaller numbers mark a result the book rates as more likely; larger numbers mark a longer shot. A 1.30 favourite is judged far more probable than a 5.00 outsider - and the payout scales to match the risk. This is the same maths behind the Bet page markets and the cricket lines in our cricket guide.
Does the decimal price include my stake?
Yes. The total return already contains your stake, so profit is the return minus what you put on.
What does 2.00 mean?
An even-money bet: ৳100 returns ৳200, doubling your stake, for ৳100 of profit.
