American odds
American odds are different from the two other types explained and are either positive or negative for example - 140 or + 300. They show you how much you will have to stake in order to achieve a profit of 0 or how much profit you will have if you stake 0.
Negative odds will show you how much you will have to stake in order to achieve a profit of 0. If a team is presented with odds - 140 you will have to stake 0 to get a 0 profit.
Positive odds will show you how much profit you will have if you stake 0. If a team is presented with odds + 300 you will have 0 profit for a stake of 0. Namely, + 300 is equal to decimal odds @4,00 or fractional @3/1.
Undoubtedly, decimal way of presenting odds is the best and is by far the most common. Fractional way of presenting odds is not to be discarded but it`s a waste of time to calculate with fractions. American odds are inappropriate to present and awkward to use.
