10.000 decimal, +900 American, 10.00% implied probability
10.00 is the decimal way of writing a price that Americans call +900 and British bookmakers call 9/1. Decimal odds are the easiest to compute with: multiply the stake by 10.00 for the total return, and divide one by 10.00 for the implied probability of 10.00%.
What 10.00 pays
Multiply the stake by 10.00 to get the total return. A 100 stake returns 1,000.00, of which 900.00 is profit. To win 100 in profit you would need to stake 11.11.
| Stake | Profit | Total return |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 90.00 | 100.00 |
| 25 | 225.00 | 250.00 |
| 50 | 450.00 | 500.00 |
| 100 | 900.00 | 1,000.00 |
| 500 | 4,500.00 | 5,000.00 |
| 1,000 | 9,000.00 | 10,000.00 |
Break-even and long-run results
One divided by 10.00 is 10.00%: the implied probability, and the win rate at which betting this price neither makes nor loses money. The rows below show the return on stake at several win rates.
| Win rate | Return on stake |
|---|---|
| 10% | 0.0% |
| 50% | 400.0% |
| 55% | 450.0% |
| 60% | 500.0% |
| 65% | 550.0% |
10.00 is a longshot price implying 10.00%. Bookmakers shade longshots more than any other price, so the true chance is usually a little higher than the implied figure suggests; the power and Shin devigging methods exist largely to model that shading.
Converting 10.00 by hand
Every other format follows from the decimal price in one step. Implied probability is one divided by 10.00, which gives 10.00%. American odds depend on which side of 2.00 the price sits: at or above 2.00, multiply (10.00 − 1) by 100 to get +900. The fraction is 10.00 − 1 written as a ratio and snapped to the nearest traditional price, 9/1. A prediction market simply quotes the probability in cents: 10¢.
The vig at 10.00
If both sides of a two-way market were 10.00, their implied probabilities would sum to -80.00% above 100%. That is the overround; as a share of stakes it is a -400.00% margin. The fair price with the margin removed is 2.00 on each side. The devig calculator does this for any market and any method.
10.00 on a betting exchange
Exchange commission comes off winnings, so 10.00 at 2% commission is really 9.820, and at 5% it is 9.550. The break-even win rate rises accordingly.
| Commission | Effective decimal | Effective American | Break-even |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2% | 9.820 | +882 | 10.18% |
| 5% | 9.550 | +855 | 10.47% |
