Let's find out together the characteristics of the betting odds and how they differ from each other. Betting Odds - What They Are For The betting odds (in English "odds"), are essential in this world, because only through them can be calculated in advance any winnings resulting from a bet. There are 3 different types: European share The most widespread in Europe. It consists of a whole number and a decimal number and provides for the calculation of the win by multiplying the various odds by the bet made. Atalanta - Roma 1 share 2.50 Juventus - Udinese 1 odds 1.60 Turin - Parma 1 odds 1.80 All to be multiplied by the stake. English quote Less common betting odds are the British type. The English share, also known as the "fractional share", due to its presentation in the form of a fraction. To establish the potential winnings, even in this case it will be sufficient to multiply the English odds by the stake. Eg Manchester United - Blackburn: odds 2/1 final outcome 1 Bet 30 euros If Manchester United win, the payout will be € 60. American share This type of odds can be presented both with a positive value (eg +400) and with a negative value (-300). As can be easily deduced, the positive share indicates the gain that can be made by the bettor, while the negative share indicates the amount necessary to obtain a profit of 100 euros. Here are some examples: Event with negative share Final earnings formula = stake x 100 / (- odds) Italy - Poland 1 Quota - 150 Stake 100 euros Earnings 66 euros 100 x 100/150 - Final win 166 euros. Event with positive share Final earnings formula = stake x (odds / 100) Italy - Poland 2 Odds + 800 Stake 100 euros Earnings 800 euros (100 x (+800/100) Final payout 900 euros. Betting Odds - Clarifications Our advice is to prefer European odds, especially if you are a beginner, given that the poor habit of British or American odds could end up causing unpleasant calculation errors with consequent losses and / or unsuccessful bets compared to the risks taken. .
