How to read odds
Odds say two things at once: what you get paid if you are right, and how likely the market thinks it is. The same number gets written three ways.
Fractional 1/1 · you win one for every one you risk.
American +100 · risk 100 to win 100.
All three say the same thing: the market sees it as a coin flip.
We always publish in decimal, because it is what most European books use and it makes the arithmetic trivial: stake × odds = what comes back. In decimal, the higher the number, the less likely the market thinks it is.
In American odds you will see signs: −150 means risk 150 to win 100 (the favourite), and +150 means risk 100 to win 150 (the underdog). It is the usual notation in the United States and across much of Mexico. You can change the format in Settings → Language and region.
What a minimum price is
Minimum price is the number below which we no longer consider that bet worth taking. It is not a target, it is a floor. If your book prices below it, skip the pick — and the day still counts the same for your package.
All three formats, the payout and the implied probability are in the bet calculator.

What the published price did in US sports
11,262 games in US sports that are over and carried a price when we wrote them up, between November 24, 2025 and November 6, 2026. Each count sits beside what it is out of, and the share is the one divided by the other.
| What | How often | Out of | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| The shorter price won | 7,058 | 10,936 | 64.5% |
| The favourite covered the handicap | 3,373 | 7,003 | 48.2% |
| The total went over | 5,518 | 11,236 | 49.1% |
| The home side won | 6,361 | 11,262 | 56.5% |
How they ended
Over 16,021 finished games in US sports whose result line says how it ended — the feed's own one-line verdict, not a reading of the play.
| What | How often | Out of | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Went past regulation | 1,212 | 16,021 | 7.6% |
| Settled on a shootout | 161 | 16,021 | 1.0% |
| Called before the end | 9 | 16,021 | 0.1% |
286 games landed exactly on the number — the handicap or the total — so they are in the counts they are out of and in neither result.
The prices counted here are DraftKings', as they stood when we last wrote each game up — one snapshot per game, near kick-off for almost all of them, and never a closing line. So this says what the published line did, not how it moved on the way there.
A season that happened. Nothing here predicts the next game, and none of it is advice.
