    Attn: mrquincy - translating english odds to american odds
    in algabreic form

    y = english odds
    x = american odds

    x = (y*100)-100

    For instance if the english odds read as 3.31 it would be (3.31*100)-100 so the answer is +231.


    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

        Go with odds of 1.91. Plug it into your formula.

        x=(1.91*100)-100
        x=(191)-100
        x=91

        1.91 converted to american odds is roughly -110.
