Changing your odds format makes it easier to understand payouts and place smarter bets.

  • Stake: $100

  • Profit: $47

Best for bettors familiar with traditional sportsbook formats.

  • Negative odds (–213): Stake $200 to win $100


Which Odds Format Should You Use?

There’s no “best” option; it’s about personal preference.
