How to Read Football Odds

Kickoff Tips displays decimal odds (e.g. 2.50). Your return on a winning £10 stake at 2.50 is £25 — stake plus £15 profit.

Implied probability ≈ 1 ÷ decimal odds. Odds of 2.00 imply roughly 50%; odds of 1.50 imply roughly 67%.

Bookmakers build a margin into the book, so the sum of implied probabilities across 1X2 usually exceeds 100%.
