3.15 is the decimal way of writing a price that Americans call +215 and British bookmakers call 43/20. Decimal odds are the easiest to compute with: multiply the stake by 3.15 for the total return, and divide one by 3.15 for the implied probability of 31.75%.

Converting 3.15 by hand
Every other format follows from the decimal price in one step. Implied probability is one divided by 3.15, which gives 31.75%. American odds depend on which side of 2.00 the price sits: at or above 2.00, multiply (3.15 − 1) by 100 to get +215. The fraction is 3.15 − 1 written as a ratio and snapped to the nearest traditional price, 43/20. A prediction market simply quotes the probability in cents: 32¢.
The vig at 3.15
If both sides of a two-way market were 3.15, their implied probabilities would sum to -36.51% above 100%. That is the overround; as a share of stakes it is a -57.50% 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.
