French Open Futures and Ante Post markets explained  

French Open outright betting is by far the most popular French Open futures betting market.  Futures markets, also 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 or tournament, rather than a single match.  In general, the highest paying odds for outright and futures betting markets will come before a tournament starts.  As we reach the later rounds of the tournament and there are fewer and fewer players remaining, the odds will tighten and pay less for those players in position to win the Coupe des Mousquetaires.

Examples of Men’s French Open outright winner odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to 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.  However, since there are so many potential winners, odds are rarely below even money, even on the heavy favorites.  Most odds will be above even and thus will come as a positive figure, expressing how much potential profit would be returned for a bet of $100.   For example, when you see odds of +320 on Novak Djokovic to win outright, you would need to stake $100 in order to receive a profit of $320, yielding a total return of $420.  Note that this use of $100 as an expression of odds pricing is just that, for purposes of expression.  It is neither a limit nor a requirement of how much you may wager.

With Decimal odds format, the odds express the full potential 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 Gael Monfils is listed at 19.50 to win outright, a $100 bet would return a total of $1,950 including your stake, so the potential profit would be $1850. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of potential profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 15/1 on Jo-Wilfried Tsong to win outright (said fifteen-to-one), one could see a profit of $1,500 (15 divided by 1, multiplied by $100) plus the stake amount for a total potential return of $1,600.
