Fractional Odds

In fractional odds, you multiply the fraction shown by the amount of your bet to show the profit a winning bet would collect. Decimal odds vary in that they show an amount that includes the original bet. Originally used in horse racing, fractional odds are one of the oldest forms of odds for sports gamblers. If you were to walk down London’s high street of bookmakers, you would see fractional odds adorning the walls of some the largest bookies in the world.
