Betting odds don’t look the same everywhere and that’s okay. Chips.gg allows you to switch between European (decimal), fractional, and American odds formats, so you can view odds in the style you’re most comfortable with. Changing your odds format makes it easier to understand payouts and place smarter bets.
What Are Betting Odds Formats?
Betting odds formats show how much you can win from a bet and how risk is represented.
On Chips.gg Sports, you can choose between:
