what are these type of numbers, use something like 1.6 or 2.3

It's a simple calculation.

For Lewa, 7/11 or 64% probability of winning.
For Benz, 1/34 or 3% probability of winning.

The actual percentage is usually a bit less than the one implied by betting odds since that’s how they make $$$

Robert Lewandowski - 4/7
Lionel Messi - 5/4
Mohamed Salah - 14/1
Jorginho - 25/1
Karim Benzema - 33/1 -

Van Dijk was the favorite according to the bookies for most of 2019, so wouldn't trust them too much.

I wanna see the meltdown here when Lewa wins this...

Not to worry, he isn't going to.

 

[Horatio]

Ahhh the classic Morten jinx.

No jinxing, Messi won the Ballon Dor the moment Argentina won Copa America, what happened after that was irrelevant.

way easier in decimal form.

you just multiply your bet with the odds and that's your winnings.

 

[Catta]

You can get decimal with a simple calculation. x/y --> (x+y)/y

For example Messi is 5/4, which is in decimal 2.25
(5+4)/4 = 9/4 = 2.25

 

[Morten]

Odds changing would imply that things can change, but literally nothing can, its all been decided for weeks now.
