Finding Markets and Reading Odds
When you open an event page, you will see a number next to each possible outcome — that is the odds. Odds can be displayed in three formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American.
Three ways to express the same price — Team A wins, stake ৳200
| Format | Odds | Return on Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳600 (৳400 profit) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳600 (৳400 profit) |
| American | +200 | ৳600 (৳400 profit) |
The favourite usually has lower odds. For example, if Team B wins at decimal 1.25, a ৳200 stake returns ৳250 — a profit of just ৳50. In limited-overs cricket matches there is generally no draw, so you will see two odds: Team A 1.80, Team B 2.00 — a ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins.
