Minet's way is the easiest

Forget trying to convert it to American Odds and just use the 100 Concept

1.65 lay 100 to get 165 back so a $65 profit

It actually makes more sense now than American Odds

I guess it's pretty much the same thing, but my brain sees 1.65 as paying 65% and 1.80 as paying 80% profit on the wager... and feels like it understands the relationship between those 2 figures.

But with American odds, I have real trouble relating to how much difference there is between the same odds stated as -154 and -125

Do Americans compute that in their heads to be about 15% different too? And if so, can anyone explain the logic process?
