What is implied probability?

Implied probability is the probability of a bet winning that the bookmaker's odds imply. It's the bookmaker's best estimate of true probability — plus the vig (their margin).

Decimal odds → implied probability

implied = 1 / decimal_odds

So 2.00 = 50%. 1.50 = 66.7%. 3.00 = 33.3%. Easy.

American odds → implied probability

if odds > 0: implied = 100 / (odds + 100) if odds < 0: implied = (-odds) / (-odds + 100)

So +150 = 40%. -200 = 66.7%. +100 = 50% (even money).

Fractional odds → implied probability

implied = denominator / (numerator + denominator)

So 6/4 = 4/10 = 40%. 1/2 = 2/3 = 66.7%. Evens (1/1) = 50%.

What's the difference between implied and no-vig probability?

Implied probability includes the vig. Sum the implied probabilities for both sides of a 2-way market — it usually exceeds 100%. The excess is the bookmaker's overround.

No-vig probability strips that margin out. Each implied probability is divided by the total overround so they sum to exactly 100%. The result is the bookmaker's true estimate (not an inflation that pads their margin).

overround = implied_A + implied_B no_vig_A = implied_A / overround no_vig_B = implied_B / overround

Use the no-vig version as your fair-price benchmark when comparing across books. The full breakdown: no-vig calculator.

How to use implied probability for value betting

Three steps:

  1. Calculate the implied probability of the bookmaker's odds.
  2. Calculate the no-vig probability (using opposite-side odds or a sharp benchmark).
  3. Compare to your true probability estimate. If yours > no-vig, the bet has positive expected value.

Without your own true-probability estimate (or a sharp model output), implied probability alone tells you nothing about edge. It's a benchmark, not a strategy.

FAQ

What is implied probability in betting?

The probability the bookmaker's odds imply. Decimal odds: implied = 1/odds. It's their best estimate plus the vig.

How do I convert decimal odds to implied probability?

Implied probability = 1 / decimal_odds. So 2.00 = 50%, 1.50 = 66.7%, 3.00 = 33.3%. Multiply by 100 for percentage.

How do I convert American odds to implied probability?

Negative: implied = (-odds) / (-odds + 100). Positive: implied = 100 / (odds + 100). So -200 = 200/300 = 66.7%; +150 = 100/250 = 40%.

What's the difference between implied and no-vig probability?

Implied includes the vig (probabilities sum > 100%). No-vig strips it out (probabilities sum = 100%). No-vig is the fair-price benchmark.

How do I use implied probability to find value bets?

Compare your true probability estimate to the no-vig probability. If yours is higher, the bet has positive EV. Without your own estimate, implied probability alone is just a number.
