Norway Eliteserien Futures and Ante Post markets explained

The Eliteserien winner is by far the most popular Norway club football futures betting market.  Future 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, as opposed to a single match.  In general, the highest paying odds for the likeliest winners of outright and futures betting markets will come before the season starts.  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 position to lift the trophy.

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

For the 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.  For example, near the end of the season, if a team like Bodø/Glimt is well ahead in the table or standings with only a few matches remaining, you might see odds like -2,800.  This means you would have to stake $2,800 in order to win $100 in profit.  However, earlier on 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 +420 on a team like Molde to win outright, you would need to stake $100 in order to receive a profit of $420, yielding a total return of $520.

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 the Rosenborg is listed at 14.50 to win outright, a $100 bet would return a total of $1,450 including your stake, so the profit would be $1,350. 

For the Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 18/1 on Vålerenga to win outright (said eighteen to one), one could see a profit of $1,800 (18 divided by 1, multiplied by $100) plus the stake amount for a total return of $1,900.
