Quick Glossary: Terms You Should Know Before Reading Odds
The most widely used format in Asia and Malaysia. The odds value shows the total gross return for every RM1 staked. For example, odds of 2.50 mean that every RM1 you bet will return a gross payout of RM2.50 if you win.
A traditional format commonly used in the British market. Written as 5/2, meaning you win RM5 for every RM2 staked, excluding your original stake. This is equivalent to decimal odds of 3.50.
A betting market where one team is given a goal or points advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field. For example, Team A -1.5 goals means Team A must win by at least 2 goals for your bet to succeed.
A market that lets you bet on whether the total goals in a match will go over or under a set value, such as 2.5 goals. The result has nothing to do with which team wins.
The most straightforward match market: 1 means the home team wins, X means a draw, and 2 means the away team wins. Ideal for beginners since there are only three possible outcomes.
A combined bet where you link two or more selections on a single slip. Every selection must win for the overall bet to pay out, but the multiplied odds offer far greater potential returns than a single bet.
How to Read Odds — Practical Examples
Reading odds is a fundamental skill you need before placing any bet. Here is a straightforward guide with easy-to-follow examples, using a simulated local football match.
Match Example: Team A vs Team B
Say the odds displayed on 47620 are as follows:
- Team A (Home) wins: 1.85
- Draw: 3.40
- Team B (Away) wins: 4.20
If you stake RM50 on Team A to win at odds of 1.85:
Gross return = RM50 × 1.85 = RM92.50
Net profit = RM 92.50 − RM 50 = RM 42.50
