17/20 means that for every £20 you stake, you win £17 in profit if the bet wins. Your stake is returned on top of that, so a £20 bet at 17/20 returns £37 total.

The implied probability is 54.05%. This means the bookmaker prices this outcome as having roughly a 54.05 in 100 chance of happening.

These are odds on – your stake is greater than the potential profit. The bookmaker considers this outcome more likely than not.

How the Calculation Works

Winnings: Stake x (17 / 20) = Profit. So £10 x (17 / 20) = £8.50 profit.

Probability: 20 / (17 + 20) = 20 / 37 = 54.05%.

Decimal odds: (17 / 20) + 1 = 1.85. Multiply your stake by this to get the total return including your stake.
