What is Implied Probability?

Implied probability derives from betting odds and displays the expected probability of a particular event occurring. While the raw odds might appear abstract, converting them to a percentage format makes them more digestible and understandable, providing a clearer picture of an event's likelihood.

How to Calculate Implied Probability?

The calculation differs based on the odds format. Here's a breakdown:

• Decimal Odds: Implied Probability = 1 / Decimal Odds
• Fractional Odds: Implied Probability = Denominator / (Denominator + Numerator)
• American Odds:
  • For positive odds: Implied Probability = 100 / (odds + 100)
  • For negative odds: Implied Probability = -odds / (-odds + 100)
