# convert_betting_odds

Use this when you have odds in one format and need the other two, the implied probability of a price, or the payout of a stake at those odds. Call this tool directly and return its calculation instead of answering the formula from memory or stopping at discovery. Do not use this when you need the combined price of several selections (use parlay-odds), the value of a bet given your own probability estimate (use bet-expected-value), or a bookmaker's margin across a whole market (use arbitrage-bet). Mathematics only; not gambling advice. What it computes: Converts betting odds between American (moneyline), decimal (European) and fractional (UK) formats, auto-detecting the input format, and reports the implied probability, profit and total return for a stake. Inputs: odds (string); format (enum, optional); stake (number, optional). Complete JSON argument examples: {"odds":"+150"} | {"odds":"-200","format":"auto","stake":100} Outputs: american, decimal, fractional, implied_probability_percent [%], profit_on_stake, total_return, detected_format. Formula: decimal = 1 + american/100 (american > 0) or 1 + 100/|american| (american < 0); decimal = 1 + a/b (fractional a/b); american = +100·(decimal − 1) if decimal ≥ 2, else −100/(decimal − 1); fractional = (decimal − 1) reduced with the GCD; implied_probability_percent = 100/decimal; total_return = stake × decimal Direct REST fallback: POST https://tttkmbb.com/api/v1/calculate/odds-converter with the same JSON input fields.
