How to calculate probability that is implied in betting
Learning how to calculate implied probability from gambling odds is critical to assessing the potential value in a betting market.
Implied probability is a conversion of gambling odds into a percent. It takes into account the bookmaker margin to express the anticipated odds of an outcome happening.
Knowing how to convert betting odds into implied probabilities is fundamental for betting as it helps you evaluate the potential value on a particular market. Once transformed, if the implied probability is significantly less than your evaluation, then it reflects betting worth.
