When searching for the betting odds on a particular club to win the Netherlands Eredivisie title, one is actually looking for the odds on that team ‘to win outright’.  OddsJet compares Dutch Eredivisie winner odds from several reputable sportsbook companies that serve Australia.  This allows OddsJet to display the highest odds for every team to win the Eredivisie outright so that bettors may maximize their potential returns.  When it comes to matches, OddsJet also provides a comparison of Eredivisie odds. 

Dutch Eredivisie Futures and Ante Post markets explained

Eredivisie outright betting is by far the most popular futures betting market for this league.  Future markets, also sometimes called Ante Post markets, are those that involve a wager that is contingent on a longer term result over the course of an entire season, rather than a single match.  In most instances, the highest paying odds for outright and futures betting markets will come before the season starts as there is a full season of uncertainty ahead.  As the season progresses and certain teams rise in the standings while others fall, the odds will tighten and pay less for those teams in a closer position to lift the trophy.

Examples of Eredivise winner odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For the American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to understand and remember, but both involve the figure of $100. First, negative numbers express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of $100.  For example, near the end of the season, if a team like Ajax is well ahead in the table or standings with only a few matches remaining, you might see odds like -4,500.  This means you would have to stake $4,500 in order to win $100 in profit.  However, earlier in the season, when the outcome is still relatively uncertain, the American odds will display a positive figure because the odds are above even.  When this is the case, the odds express how much potential profit would be returned on a $100 wager.  For example, when you see odds of +330 on a team like PSV Eindhoven to win outright, you would need to stake $100 in order to receive a profit of $330, yielding a total return of $430.

With the Decimal odds format, know that the odds express the full amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount.  For this, simply multiply the Decimal odds by the stake. For example, if Feyenoord is listed at 6.25 to win outright, a $100 bet would return a total of $625 including your stake, so the profit would be $525. 

For the Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a successful wager.  For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 20/1 on FC Twente to win outright (said twenty to one), one could see a profit of $2,000 (20 divided by 1, multiplied by $100) plus the return of the stake amount for a total return of $2,100.
