Decimal Odds

An odds format showing your total return per unit staked, including the stake, such as 2.50.
Your return is simply stake multiplied by the number, so 10 at 2.50 returns 25. It is the international default because the maths is direct, and it converts cleanly to an implied probability by dividing 100 by the price. See our guide to how betting odds work.
