How to convert moneyline betting odds

Moneylines can come in ‘plus’ (favourites) and ‘minus’ (underdogs) formats, so there are two different formulas to convert moneylines into percentages.

If the moneyline is +110, the formula would look like this:

100 / (110+100) = 100/210 = 0.476

Multiply your end result (0.476) by 100 to get the percentage: 47.6%

For ‘minus’ moneylines, the formula is: Moneyline / -(100 – (Moneyline))

If the moneyline is -130, the equation would look like this:

-130/ – (-130 -(-100)) = -130 / -230 = 130/230 = 0.565

Multiply your end result (0.565) by 100 to get the percentage: 56.5%
