League of Ireland First Division 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 express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of $100.  When one sees a negative number such as -300, this means that one would need to stake $300 in order to win a profit of $100, for a total return of $400.  When the odds are above even, American odds format display a positive figure which expresses how much one will win when $100 is staked.  For example, match odds of +400 for a draw means that a stake of $100 wins $400 in profit for a total return of $500. 

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 a team is listed to win at 1.61, a $100 bet would return a total of $161 including your stake, so the profit is $61.  A draw with decimal odds of 3.45 would return $345 on a bet of $100. 

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 4/9 (said 4 to 9) on a club to win, one would see a profit of $44.44 (100 X 4/9) plus the stake for a total return of $144.44.
