1. What is Odds Conversion?

Odds conversion is the process of changing odds from one format to another (e.g., American to Decimal). Different regions use different odds formats, and conversion helps compare odds across different systems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

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