Betting odds can feel like a secret code at first. Especially when you’re jumping between US sportsbooks showing moneyline (-110), European sites with decimals (1.91), or UK-style fractionals (10/11). But once you crack it, you gain a huge edge: better line shopping, spotting value bets, and building smarter parlays.
Today, we’re excited to launch our brand-new Free Betting Odds Converter right here on SportsBrackets.net! This interactive tool instantly switches between American (moneyline), Decimal, Fractional odds, and Implied Probability percentages—no manual math required. Just type in one format, and the rest updates in real time.

Why Understanding (and Converting) Odds Matters
Different regions and sportsbooks use different formats for odds, but they all tell the same story: the bookmaker’s view of an outcome’s likelihood, plus their built-in margin (vig). Converting helps you:
- Compare offers quickly across books (e.g., is FanDuel’s -110 better than DraftKings’ 1.95 decimal?).
- Calculate implied probability to see if the line offers value—if your own estimate of a team’s win chance is higher than the implied %, it’s potentially a +EV bet.
- Build parlays with accurate pricing (pair it with our Parlay Odds Calculator for multi-leg payouts).
Quick refresher on the formats (full details on the tool page):
- American/Moneyline — US standard. +200 means bet $100 to win $200 profit; -150 means bet $150 to win $100 profit.
- Decimal — Popular in Europe/Australia/Canada. Total return per $1 stake (e.g., 3.00 = $3 total back on $1 bet, $2 profit).
- Fractional — Classic UK style. Profit per unit stake (e.g., 2/1 = $2 profit per $1 staked).
- Implied Probability — The % chance baked into the odds (after vig). Lower % = bigger underdog/higher payout.
How to Use Our Free Odds Converter
- Visit the tool: sportsbrackets.net/odds-converter
- Enter odds in any field:
- American: Try -110 or +250
- Decimal: Try 1.91 or 3.50
- Fractional: Try 10/11 or 5/2
- Or start with your estimated probability (e.g., 60%) to see equivalent odds
- Watch the magic: All other fields auto-fill, including implied win %.
- Use the built-in Quick Reference Table for common lines (like -110 vig standard, +200 even-money equivalents, longshots at +500).
Example in action:
- Enter -110 (American) → See ~1.91 decimal, 10/11 fractional, ~52.38% implied probability.
- Enter 40% probability → Get equivalents like +150 American or 2.50 decimal.
Pro tip: The implied probability removes the vig for a “fair” estimate—great for comparing your handicapping to the market.
