To show you that the implied probability stays the same across the different representations of the odds, we will quickly run the numbers once again. The formula is much simpler here. You simply have to follow this:
100/decimal odds = implied probability
So, let’s put this to the test:
100/1.33 for the Los Angeles Lakers = 75.18%
100/3.50 for the Phoenix Suns = 28.57%
It’s very satisfying to see the same numbers represented differently work out in all cases, but if pushed, we must agree that Decimal odds are the quickest way to navigate your next bet.
