Four Basics of Reading Odds
1 ÷ odds
Divide 1 by the odds for the implied probability: 1 ÷ 1.70 ≈ 59%.
Probabilities multiply
On a combo the chances multiply, so more legs means a much lower chance of landing.
Movement
Falling odds mean the market rates that outcome as more likely.
What Do Odds Mean?
Odds show the total you receive for every 1 TRY staked if the bet wins. At 1.70, a winning 100 TRY bet returns 170 TRY: 100 TRY of your own and 70 TRY profit. Bahissenin shows all odds in this decimal format.
How Do You Convert Odds to Probability?
Divide 1 by the odds. 2.00 is about 50%, 1.50 about 67%, 4.00 about 25%. It's the quickest way to judge whether a price looks right to you. If you rate an outcome at 60% and the odds are 2.00, it's worth something to you; at 1.50 it isn't.
How Do Bet Types Differ?
Match result asks 'who wins?', handicap asks 'by how much?', over/under asks 'how many goals?'. The same match produces very different odds for each question. When a favourite drops to 1.25, many players look to handicap or over/under instead, but each carries a different kind of risk.
Combo and System Maths
On a combo both the odds and the probabilities multiply. Four legs at 1.70 give total odds of about 8.35, but if each is a 60% shot the slip lands only 13% of the time. A 3/4 system splits the stake across four trebles; it still pays if one leg fails but returns less when everything lands.
Comparison
Odds and Probability Table
| Odds | Implied probability | 100 TRY returns |
|---|---|---|
| 1.25 | ≈ 80% | 125 TRY |
| 1.50 | ≈ 67% | 150 TRY |
| 1.70 | ≈ 59% | 170 TRY |
| 2.00 | 50% | 200 TRY |
| 3.00 | ≈ 33% | 300 TRY |
| 5.00 | 20% | 500 TRY |
Implied probability runs slightly above true probability because of the operator's margin.
