How do fractional odds work in soccer betting?

How it works

To convert fractional odds to decimal, divide the first number by the second and add 1, so 5/2 becomes 3.50. Evens, or 1/1, equals 2.00 decimal and +100 American. When the first number is smaller than the second, as in 1/2, the selection is a favorite.

For example, a $10 bet at 7/4 profits $17.50 and returns $27.50, the same as 2.75 decimal or +175 American. At 4/6, a $12 stake profits $8 and returns $20, which is about 1.67 decimal or -150 American.

Fractional prices are harder to compare at a glance, especially awkward pairs like 13/8 versus 8/5. Converting everything to decimal or implied probability first makes it easier to see which price is actually better.
