Formula used
Implied probability = 1 ÷ decimal oddsFair odds = 1 ÷ estimated probabilityFair probability without margin = implied probability ÷ sum of implied probabilitiesEV = (estimated probability × odds) − 1Edge = estimated probability − implied probability
Example: 1X2 market in a Brasileirão game
Imagine a football game with odds of 2.10 for the home team, 3.30 for the draw, and 3.60 for the away team. The sum of implied probabilities exceeds 100% because the bookmaker builds margin into the odds. By removing that margin, the calculator shows the fair probability and fair odds for each outcome.
| Selection | Bookmaker odd | Implied prob. | Fair probability without margin | Fair odds |
|---|
| Home | 2,10 | 47,62% | 45,05% | 2,22 |
| Draw | 3,30 | 30,30% | 28,67% | 3,49 |
| Away | 3,60 | 27,78% | 26,28% | 3,81 |
When to use on Predora.si
On Predora.si, the fair odds logic appears in the Active Model reading. The model estimates a probability for the selected market, that probability becomes fair odds, and the platform compares that reading with the odds available at bookmakers. When the market odds are above the estimated fair price, there may be positive EV. The result gains context when compared with odds, Factors, and game data.
This reading connects with Upcoming Games with EV+, Upcoming Games, odds comparison, and AI + Statistics. Upcoming Games with High Probability organizes games by high chance, but that cut does not imply positive value if the odds are below the fair price.
Want to compare this calculation with real games?
On Predora.si you see chance, EV, and best odds per market in football games, with Active Model, odds comparison, and Factors to contextualize the reading.

What are fair odds?
Fair odds are the odds consistent with an estimated probability, without considering the bookmaker's margin.
How do I calculate fair odds?
Divide 1 by the decimal probability. Example: 60% becomes 1 ÷ 0.60 = 1.67.
What are margin-free odds?
They are the odds adjusted after removing the bookmaker's margin from a market.
How do fair odds help me compare prices?
Fair odds turn a probability estimate into a break-even price. Compare them with the offered odds to evaluate potential value.
What is the difference between fair odds and EV?
Fair odds are the reference price; EV compares that price or probability with the odds offered.
Can I use the calculator for 1X2?
Yes, as long as you enter the home, draw, and away odds from the same market.
How does Predora.si use fair odds?
The Active Model estimates probabilities per market, those probabilities generate fair odds, and help calculate EV when compared with the odds available.
