What is Implied Probability?

Implied probability is the conversion of betting odds into a percentage that represents the bookmaker's assessment of an outcome's likelihood. It reveals what the sportsbook believes is the true chance of an event occurring, plus their built-in profit margin (vig/juice).

For example, if a team has odds of -110, the implied probability is 52.38%. This means the bookmaker is pricing that outcome as if it has a 52.38% chance of happening. Understanding implied probability is crucial for identifying value bets where your assessment differs from the market.

How to Calculate Implied Probability from American Odds

For Negative Odds (favorites like -150):

Implied Probability = |Odds| / (|Odds| + 100)

Example: -150 odds → 150 / (150 + 100) = 150 / 250 = 60%

For Positive Odds (underdogs like +200):

Implied Probability = 100 / (Odds + 100)

Example: +200 odds → 100 / (200 + 100) = 100 / 300 = 33.33%

Common Odds and Their Implied Probabilities

American Odds Decimal Odds Fractional Odds Implied Probability
-200 1.50 1/2 66.67%
-150 1.67 2/3 60.00%
-110 1.91 10/11 52.38%
+100 2.00 1/1 (Evens) 50.00%
+150 2.50 3/2 40.00%
+200 3.00 2/1 33.33%
+300 4.00 3/1 25.00%

Understanding Different Odds Formats

  • American Odds: Most common in US sportsbooks. Negative numbers show how much you need to bet to win $100 (e.g., -150 means bet $150 to win $100). Positive numbers show how much you win on a $100 bet (e.g., +200 means win $200 on a $100 bet).
  • Decimal Odds: Popular internationally, especially in Europe and Australia. Shows total return including stake. Simply multiply your bet by this number to calculate total payout (e.g., $10 bet at 2.50 odds = $25 total return).
  • Fractional Odds: Traditional UK format. Shows potential profit relative to stake (e.g., 3/1 means win $3 profit for every $1 bet, not including your stake back).
  • Implied Probability: The percentage chance of winning implied by the odds, which includes the bookmaker's margin.

Using Implied Probability to Find Value Bets

The key to successful sports betting is finding situations where your assessed probability is higher than the implied probability from the odds. This is called finding "value."

Example:

  • Sportsbook offers +200 (implied probability: 33.33%)
  • Your analysis suggests the team has a 40% chance of winning
  • You have found value because 40% > 33.33%
  • This represents a potential profitable betting opportunity

Why Do Implied Probabilities Add Up to More Than 100%?

When you convert both sides of a betting market to implied probability and add them together, they typically exceed 100% (often 105-110%). This difference is called the "overround" or "vig" and represents the bookmaker's profit margin.

Example: NFL Spread Market

  • Team A -110 (52.38% implied probability)
  • Team B -110 (52.38% implied probability)
  • Total: 104.76%
  • Overround/Vig: 4.76%

The 4.76% represents the sportsbook's theoretical profit margin. Use our Hold Calculator to calculate the exact vig on any betting market.

Tips for Using Odds Formats

  • American odds are standard in the US market - All major US sportsbooks use this format
  • Decimal odds are most common internationally - Easier for calculating payouts
  • Fractional odds are traditional in UK betting - Still popular with UK bookmakers
  • Implied probability helps assess true value - Compare to your own probability estimates
  • Lower implied probability means higher odds - Inverse relationship
