Why Probability Matters in Matched Betting
Matched betting relies on identifying discrepancies between bookmaker odds and exchange lay odds. However, without grasping the implied probability, you’re essentially placing bets with blinders on.
Clarity Over Chance
Odds such as 4/1 sound straightforward, but what does this truly mean in terms of probability?
Spotting Value
If the implied probability differs significantly from your own estimations, there’s a potential edge.
Risk Management
Understanding probability helps you allocate stakes wisely to limit exposure in case of losses.
At Oddsmart, we believe that clear insights breed confident decisions. That’s why our Bet Chance Calculator is designed to dispel the guesswork and highlight real opportunities.

Understanding Implied Probability
Implied probability is simply the bookmaker’s way of stating how likely they think an event is to occur, expressed as a percentage. The conversion varies by odds format:
- Fractional Odds (a/b): Probability = b / (a + b) × 100
- Example: Odds of 7/2: 2 / (7 + 2) × 100 = 22.22%
- Decimal Odds (d): Probability = 1 / d × 100
- Example: Odds of 4.50: 1 / 4.50 × 100 = 22.22%
- American Odds (positive): Probability = 100 / (odds + 100) × 100
- Example: Odds of +350: 100 / (350 + 100) × 100 = 22.22%
- American Odds (negative): Probability = odds (absolute value) / (odds (absolute value) + 100) × 100
- Example: Odds of –150: 150 / (150 + 100) × 100 = 60.00%
By converting these formats into a uniform probability, you can make apples-to-apples comparisons and uncover value bets—where your estimated chance exceeds the implied probability.

Practical Example: Spotting Value in a Football Market
Imagine you’re eyeing an upcoming Premier League match between Arsenal and Chelsea. The bookmaker offers 9/4 on an Arsenal win (implied probability = 4 / (9 + 4) × 100 ≈ 36.36%).
- Convert Odds: Enter 9/4 in Fractional mode → Calculator yields 36.36%.
- Estimate Your Probability: Through form analysis, you believe Arsenal have a 42% chance of winning.
- Compare & Decide: Because your estimation (42%) exceeds the implied probability (36.36%), this is a positive expected value bet.
- Place Matched Bet: Back on the bookmaker, lay on the exchange at corresponding odds, ensuring a small guaranteed profit regardless of outcome
This simple process, driven by our calculator’s output, turns educated guesses into systematic advantages.
Tips for Maximising Your Matched Betting Success

- Shop Around: Different bookmakers offer slightly different odds; small edges add up.
