Types of Rainbow Six Siege Betting Odds
There are different ways that you can read R6 odds, which depends on the type of format used to represent them. There are three main types of odd formats for R6 betting. These formats are explained in detail below.
Decimal Odds
First up, we have decimal odds. It is the most common type of odd format. You will see this type of format at most online bookmakers.
The decimal odd format represents R6 betting odds with a number and a decimal like 1.6 or 2.5. This number represents the exact multiple of the betting amount you will get in return for winning the bet.
If you bet $200 and win with odds of 1.6, you will get $320 (200 x 1.6) in return. You can also tell that 1.6 represents a higher probability of the event actually taking place because the return is lower than double the betting amount.
Fractional Odds
Another popular odd format for R6 betting is the fractional format. It uses a fraction like 5/2 or 3/2. 5/2 is pronounced five to two, and 3/2 is pronounced three to two. In this format, the second number represents your betting amount, and the first number represents the return you will get on that betting amount.
Winning a bet with odds of 5/2 will get you $5 for betting $2 and $100 for betting $40. In this case, you are getting more than two times the return. In this way, odds of 5/2 suggest that the likelihood of you winning the bet is very low.
American Odds
American odds are the least popular for R6 betting. These odds use a number with a positive or a negative sign like -150 or +150. Odds of -150 tell you that you need to wager $150 to win $100. On the other hand, +150 odds tell you that you will get $150 for betting $100.
