How to use the Implied Probability

Implied probability turns a betting price into the minimum win rate needed to break even. It makes prices easier to compare with your own estimate of an outcome.

  1. 1Choose American or decimal odds.
  2. 2Enter the price offered by the sportsbook.
  3. 3Compare the implied break-even rate with your projected win probability.

Formula and assumptions

Decimal odds: probability = 1 / decimal odds. American odds use separate formulas for positive and negative prices.

A sportsbook price usually includes margin, so implied probabilities across every outcome can add up to more than 100%.
