Implied probability
The probability a bet outcome would need to have for the offered odds to be break-even. Calculated as 1 ÷ decimal odds. Odds of 2.00 imply a 50% probability; odds of 1.50 imply 66.7%. Summing the implied probabilities of all outcomes in a market gives a number above 100% — the excess is the bookmaker's overround.
