This American odds to Malaysian odds converter helps you switch between two common betting odds formats in seconds. Type in your American odds and the matching Malaysian odds will be calculated automatically.
How American odds are converted to Malaysian odds
The simplest method is to convert American odds into decimal odds first, then convert the decimal odds into Malaysian odds. This reduces sign errors and keeps the calculation consistent across different betting formats.
For example, American odds of +150 convert to Malaysian odds of -0.667.
Worked example
Convert American odds of -120 to Malaysian odds
Since -120 is negative, first calculate the profit-per-unit figure: 100 / 120 = 0.83.
Because that value is below 1, the Malaysian odds stay positive.
The Malaysian odds are 0.833.
Important note for this conversion
This conversion is particularly relevant when comparing Asian-market odds with prices listed in European or US-facing formats.
Common conversion mistake
A common mistake with American odds is forgetting that positive and negative values use different formulas. Always check the sign before converting.
American odds explained
American odds are the standard format used by most US sportsbooks. Positive odds show how much profit you would make on a 100 stake, while negative odds show how much you need to stake in order to make 100 in profit. For example, +150 returns 150 profit on a 100 bet, while -200 requires a 200 stake to profit 100.
Malay odds explained
Malaysian odds are commonly used in parts of Southeast Asia. They are quoted between -1 and 1 and can be either positive or negative. Because of the way the format is constructed, conversion is usually easiest by translating Malaysian odds into decimal odds first.
