Three ways to show the same price
On lb88 and other betting sites, odds may be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three carry the same information, just written differently.
Example 1 — Evenly matched teams: If Team A wins, the decimal odds are 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000); if Team A loses you lose the full ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite team: Team B's decimal odds are 1.80, fractional 4/5, American −125 (minus means that amount must be bet to win 100). On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
A minus sign in the American format indicates a favourite — it shows how much you need to bet to win 100. In decimal format the original stake is included in the odds, so the calculation is simplest.
