Break-even and long-run results
The implied probability of -1275 is 92.73%, and that number is also the break-even win rate: win more often than 92.73% of the time at this price and you profit in the long run, win less often and you lose. The table shows the return on stake at a few win rates, including the break-even rate itself.
| Win rate | Return on stake |
|---|---|
| 50% | -46.1% |
| 55% | -40.7% |
| 60% | -35.3% |
| 65% | -29.9% |
| 93% | 0.3% |
At 92.73% this is a heavy favourite. Prices this short appear when one side is expected to win comfortably: a top seed against a qualifier, a strong home team against a relegation candidate, or a moneyline in a game with a double-digit spread. The catch is the payout. You need to win more than 92.73% of these bets just to stand still, and one loss wipes out several wins.
The vig at -1275
If both sides of a two-way market were priced at -1275, the implied probabilities would add up to 85.45% above 100%.

Use the devig calculator to do the same for any market.
