Implied probability
Implied probability is the chance of an outcome that a given price corresponds to, calculated as one divided by the decimal odds.
In plain English
It is the market price restated as a percentage. Decimal odds of 2.00 imply 50 percent, 4.00 imply 25 percent, and 1.25 imply 80 percent. A price implies a probability arithmetically; it does not promise the outcome actually has that chance.
Example
Decimal odds of 1.67 imply roughly 60 percent. If you believe the true chance is closer to 50 percent, that price is poor value for you.
Why it matters
Converting a price into a probability is the single most useful habit in betting, because it turns an unfamiliar number into one you can reason about.
