European Price Sports-Bet

Making a bet based on the European Price system is similar to making a Money Line Bet. European prices are usually displayed in decimal format and use two formulas to calculate payouts.

European Prices above 1.0
(Wager Amount) x (European Price) = Total Payout

European Prices below 1.0
(Wager Amount) x (European Price) + Wager Amount = Total Payout

For example, the bettor bets $100 on Manchester City 2.40 to beat Arsenal 0.60. If Manchester City wins, he wins $240. His friend bets $100 on Arsenal. If Arsenal wins, his friend wins $160. The following table displays the results of four different winning European Price bets. Winner Bet Amount European Price Payout (+bet amt) Manchester City $20 2.40 $48 Manchester City $100 2.40 $240 Arsenal $20 0.60 $32 Arsenal $100 0.60 $160

Conversion

Here is the conversion formula for European Prices.

Use this formula if the Money Line has a minus sign "-".

European Price = (100 / (Money Line * -1)) + 1

Use this formula if the Money Line has a plus sign "+".

European Price = (Money Line / 100) + 1

The following table displays conversions of Money Lines to European Prices.

Money Line	European Price	Payout per $100 Bet (+ bet amt)
+140	2.40	$240
-200	150	$150
+160	2.60	$260

Note: European Prices do not always convert evenly into Money Lines since Money Lines are based on whole numbers.
