Betting odds represent the probability of an event happening and determine how much profit you can make if your prediction is correct.

 Odds tell you how likely something is to happen
 Odds tell you how much you can win from your bet
On the Lotus365 website, odds are displayed in different formats and are easy to understand once you know how they work.
Knowing how to read odds helps you:
If you're serious about online betting, start by mastering the basics of odds on Lotus365.
Lotus365 supports the globally used odds formats. These include:
Decimal odds are simple and widely used on the Lotus365 website.
They show the exact amount you’ll receive for every ₹1 you bet.
Total Return = Stake × Decimal Odds
If odds are 2.50 and you bet ₹100,
Return = 100 × 2.50 = ₹250
Profit = Return – Stake = ₹150
Simple to calculate
Perfect for beginners
Standard format on most Indian gaming site
Fractional odds look like 5/1, 3/2, etc.
Profit = Stake × (Numerator / Denominator)
Odds: 5/1
Bet: ₹100
Profit = 100 × (5/1) = ₹500
Fractional odds are usually preferred by experienced bettors.
These have “+†or “–†signs.
Example: +150 or -200
Amount you profit for every ₹100 bet.
Example:
+150 → Profit ₹150 for ₹100 stake
Amount you must bet to win ₹100.
Example:
-200 → Bet ₹200 to profit ₹100
American odds are less common in India but still appear in some Lotus365 games.

Odds don’t just show potential winnings—they reveal how likely an outcome is.
Probability (%) = (1 / Decimal Odds) × 100
Odds: 1.50
Probability = (1 / 1.50) × 100 = 66.6%
This means the event is considered very likely.
