How to Read Esports Odds — A Simple Example
Odds at kr18 are displayed in decimal format, which is the most common. For example, if you see odds of 1.85 for Team Secret to win a Dota 2 match, this means every RM10 you stake returns RM18.50 if the team wins — including your original RM10 stake.
Simple formula: Return = Stake × Odds. So RM10 × 1.85 = RM18.50 (net profit RM8.50). Higher odds mean the team is considered less likely to win, but the payout is greater.
| Odds Format | Example | How to Read |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.10 | RM10 → RM21.00 return |
| Handicap (+1.5) | Team A +1.5 | Team A can drop 1 set and still win |
| Over/Under | Total Kills o/u 45.5 | Will the total kill count exceed 45? |
