Can some one explian to me how the decimal money lines is different from the regula r ones? At Bet365 they have 1.90 and 2.05 for some priceing. How do converts work on that way?

Thank you,
Paul

Best to use examples :

Bet £100 to win £100 = bet £100, return is £200 (incl stake) ... decimal = 2.0

Bet £100 to win £105 = bet £100, return is £205 (incl stake) ... decimal = 2.05

etc

If you multiply your stake by the decimal that is your total return.

If you want to know just your winnings, take 1.0 off the decimal.

So, +200 = 3.0.

In your examples, 1.9 would be +90. 2.05 would be +105.

I THINK I have the US odds correct (I only learnt those last week!!).

Guapo, the main thing to consider with the decimals is that your stake is included in the return, like natrass was saying. Take the decimal odds and subtract 1.00. So 1.90 would really be the same as -110, roughly (precisely, 1.9091 = -110).

natrass and WB perty much gave an explanation. although heres the easier way for you to convert it there.

bet365 has a drop down boxat the top right hand corner, where it will let you convert the decimal to the USA odds.

I hate to drag this out ... but, as I recently understood it ...

the '+' and '-' signs refer to where the 100 goes in the division.

i.e 1.9 would be the same as 90/100 which would be +90 I thought.

But willie bee writes it as is usually written which is -110 (ie 100/110).

Do you change from + to - when you pass evens or 2.0 as a decimal?

Just curious as I thought I had it sussed.

Brilliant. Clear as a bell now. Thanks winston.
