Key Takeaways

  • • Odds = p/(1−p); probability p = odds/(1+odds)
  • • Decimal odds = 1/p — European format, total return per unit staked
  • • American: negative = favorite, positive = underdog
  • • Fractional 5/1 = odds against 5:1 → P = 1/6 ≈ 16.7%
  • • Odds ratio (OR) from 2×2 table: (a×d)/(b×c); OR > 1 means exposure increases outcome odds

How It Works

1. Probability ↔ Odds

Odds for = p/(1−p). Odds against = (1−p)/p. Probability from odds: p = odds/(1+odds) for odds-for.

2. Decimal Odds

Decimal = 1/p. Includes stake. 2.00 = double your money (50% implied).

3. American Odds

Negative: bet that amount to win 100. Positive: bet 100 to win that amount.

4. Odds Ratio

OR = (a×d)/(b×c) for 2×2 table. 95% CI uses log(OR) ± 1.96×SE.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is odds for vs odds against?

Odds for = p/(1−p). Odds against = (1−p)/p. 70% probability → odds for 7:3, odds against 3:7.

How do American odds work?

Negative = favorite (bet that to win 100). Positive = underdog (bet 100 to win that). -150 = 60% implied.

What is the odds ratio?

OR = (a×d)/(b×c) for 2×2 table. OR>1 means exposure increases odds of outcome.

When is OR ≈ RR?

When the outcome is rare (<10%). For common outcomes, RR is often preferred.
