Win Probability Formula:

\[ \text{Win Probability} = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\left(\frac{\text{Moneyline}}{100} + 1\right)} & \text{for positive odds} \\ 1 - \frac{1}{\left(\frac{100}{|\text{Moneyline}|} + 1\right)} & \text{for negative odds} \end{cases} \]

1. What is Win Probability from Moneyline Odds?

Win probability derived from moneyline odds represents the implied probability of a team winning based on the betting odds. It's a conversion from the sportsbook's odds to a percentage chance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{For positive odds (+): } \frac{1}{\left(\frac{\text{Moneyline}}{100} + 1\right)} \] \[ \text{For negative odds (-): } 1 - \frac{1}{\left(\frac{100}{|\text{Moneyline}|} + 1\right)} \]

Where:

Moneyline — The betting odds (e.g., +150 or -200)
Win Probability — The implied probability of winning (0-100%)

Explanation: Positive odds represent underdogs where you win more than you bet, while negative odds represent favorites where you need to bet more to win a smaller amount.

3. Importance of Win Probability

Details: Understanding implied probabilities helps bettors assess whether the sportsbook's odds represent value compared to their own probability estimates.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the moneyline odds as a positive or negative number (e.g., +150 or -200). The calculator will compute the implied win probability percentage.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between positive and negative moneyline odds?
A: Positive odds show how much you'd win on a $100 bet, while negative odds show how much you need to bet to win $100.

Q2: How accurate are these implied probabilities?
A: They represent the sportsbook's assessment including their margin (vig). Actual probabilities may differ slightly.

Q3: Why do probabilities from moneyline odds add up to more than 100%?
A: The excess (overround) represents the sportsbook's profit margin built into the odds.

Q4: Can I use this for other sports besides NFL?
A: Yes, the moneyline to probability conversion works the same for any sport.

Q5: How do I find value bets using win probability?
A: Compare your estimated probability to the implied probability - if yours is higher, it might be a value bet.
