When you’re gearing up to bet on a biathlon race, the first hurdle is understanding the numbers you see—that’s your betting odds today. Odds show the likelihood of an athlete winning and help you calculate your payout. In Kenya, we use familiar formats, just like in other sports:
- Decimal Odds: Common across Europe. Spot odds of 2.50? That means if you stake KSh 129, you’ll get back KSh 322.50 (your initial KSh 129 plus KSh 193.50 profit) when your pick lands.
- Fractional Odds: Loved in the UK, shown as fractions like 5/2. The top number is your profit relative to your stake. Bet KSh 200 at 5/2, and you earn KSh 500 in profit.
- Moneyline Odds (American Odds): Popular in the US. A +150 line means a KSh 12,900 bet returns KSh 19,350 (KSh 6,450 profit). A -200 line means you must stake KSh 25,800 to win KSh 12,900.
Knowing how decimal odds, fractional odds and moneyline odds line up with real cash makes your decision sharper—whether you’re betting on biathlon or catching the next Premier League match.
