Odds payout chart
An odds payout chart is a table that shows how much a bet pays out for a given set of odds or wager amount, used across sports betting, casino games, and parimutuel pools.
Key points
- In fixed-odds betting, the payout is predetermined when the bet is placed; the chart shows the return for each stake.5
- In parimutuel betting, the payout varies with the pool size and house deduction, so the chart reflects a changing return.3
- Moneyline odds use formulas: positive odds pay X to 100, negative odds pay 100 to X, with fair probability calculated accordingly.1
