188bets uses decimal odds — straightforward and easy to understand
| Odds (Decimal) | Finance | Win on a ৳1,000 Bet | Total Received |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.50 | Favourite | ৳500 Profit | ৳1,500 |
| 1.85 | Slight Favorite | ৳850 Profit | ৳1,850 |
| 2.00 | Even | ৳1,000 Profit | ৳2,000 |
| 2.50 | Underdog | ৳1,500 Profit | ৳2,500 |
| 3.50 | Heavy Underdog | ৳2,500 Profit | ৳3,500 |

In an accumulator, all odds are multiplied together. For example: 1.85 × 1.72 × 1.55 = 4.93. A ৳500 bet would return ৳2,465 if all selections win — that's why accumulator bets can deliver much higher returns.
