French Ligue 1 Odds Explained  

1X2 Match Betting

This is the most popular betting market for Ligue 1.  Here, one is simply wagering on the Full-Time result of a given match: 1 – a Home Win, X – a Draw, 2 – an Away win.

Double Chance Betting

This is a variation of typical 1X2 match betting whereby one selects any two of the three possible outcomes: 1,X – Home Win or Draw.  X,2 - Draw or Away Win.  1,2 - Home Win or Away Win.  This allows for a hedging of one’s bet.  In doing so, the odds will be lower than for a typical 1X2 match result odds.

Ligue 1 odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to remember, but both revolve around the figure of $100. First, negative numbers are used when the odds are below even-money and express how much one must wager in order to win a profit of $100.  When one sees a negative number like Paris Saint-Germain to win at -305, this means that one would need to stake $305 in order to win a profit of $100, for a total return of $405.  When the odds are above even, American odds format displays a positive figure which expresses how much one might win when $100 is staked.  For example, match odds of +260 for a draw means that a stake of $100 wins $260 in profit for a total return of $360. 

For Decimal odds format, the odds express the full amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount.  Simply multiply the odds by the stake. For example, if Olympique de Marseille is listed to win at 1.79, a $100 bet would return a total of $179 including your stake, so the profit would be $79.  A draw with decimal odds of 3.40 would return $170 on a bet of $50. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  So for example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 6/7 (said six-to-seven) on AS Monaco to win, one would see a profit of $85.71 (100 X 6/7) plus the stake for a total return of $185.71.
