Decimal odds (e.g., 2.50) are the standard in Europe, Australia, and Canada because they are easy to calculate: they represent your total return (Stake + Profit). However, if you are betting with US sportsbooks, you will encounter American Odds (Moneyline), which look very different (e.g., +150).

The Conversion Logic
- Decimal ≥ 2.00: These convert to Positive American Odds (e.g., 2.50 becomes +150). This number represents how much profit you make on a $100 bet.
- Decimal < 2.00: These convert to Negative American Odds (e.g., 1.50 becomes -200). This number represents how much you must bet to win $100.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is 2.00 in American odds?
Decimal odds of 2.00 convert to +100 (or sometimes “Evens”) in American format. This means you double your money: a $100 bet wins $100 profit.
Why are some American odds negative?
Negative odds (e.g., -150) indicate the Favorite. In decimal terms, this is anything below 2.00. The number tells you how much stake is required to win $100.
Which format gives better value?
The value is identical; only the display is different. A decimal of 2.50 pays out exactly the same as American +150. However, Decimal odds are generally preferred for calculating parlay payouts.
