Hongkong odds explained
Hong Kong odds are mainly used in Hong Kong and some other Asian betting markets. They show profit per 1 unit staked, which means they are very similar to decimal odds minus 1. For example, Hong Kong odds of 1.50 mean a 1 unit stake returns 1.50 profit and 2.50 in total.
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.
