Converting 85.00 by hand
Every other format follows from the decimal price in one step. Implied probability is one divided by 85.00, which gives 1.18%. American odds depend on which side of 2.00 the price sits: at or above 2.00, multiply (85.00 − 1) by 100 to get +8,400. The fraction is 85.00 − 1 written as a ratio and snapped to the nearest traditional price, 84/1. A prediction market simply quotes the probability in cents: 1¢.
The vig at 85.00
If both sides of a two-way market were 85.00, their implied probabilities would sum to -97.65% above 100%. That is the overround; as a share of stakes it is a -4,150.00% 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.
