European Price Sport Bet
A European Price Sport Bet is similar to a Money Line Sport Bet. These are usually displayed in decimal format and use two formulas to calculate payouts.
European Price above 1.0
(Wager Amount) x (European Price) = Total Payout
European Price below 1.0
(Wager Amount) x (European Price) + Wager Amount = Total Payout
Winner | Bet Amount | European Price | Payout |
Manchester City | $20 | 2.40 | $48 |
Manchester City | $100 | 2.40 | $240 |
Arsenal | $20 | 0.60 | $32 |
Arsenal | 100 | 0.60 | $160 |
Conversion
Here is the conversion formula for European Prices.
Use this formula if the Money Line has a minus sign "-".
European Price = (100 / (Money Line * -1)) + 1
Use this formula if the Money Line has a plus sign "+".
European Price = (Money Line / 100) + 1
The following table displays conversions of Money Lines to European Prices.
Money Line | European Price |
Payout per $100 Bet (+ bet amt) |
+140 | 2.40 | $240 |
-200 | 150 | $150 |
+160 | 2.60 | $260 |
Note: European Prices do not always convert evenly into Money Lines since Money Lines are based on whole numbers.
Tipster's Corner by James Rodes
Just by flipping a coin, sports bettors will be right 50% of the time. At odds of 10/11, only 52.4% of the sports bettors' wagers have to win for them to overcome the bookmaker's profit and break even, so they only need a very small edge to become a winner.
