Type the odds in any format and get the other two instantly, along with the implied probability: what the odds take for granted.
Implied probability is what the odds take for granted: 1.91 equals 52.4%. If your estimate of the outcome is higher than that number, the odds have value; if lower, the bet loses money long-term even when it sometimes lands.

If the American odds are positive: decimal = 1 + american/100 (+150 is 2.50). If negative: decimal = 1 + 100/|american| (-110 is 1.91). Negative odds say how much you must risk to win 100; positive odds, how much you win risking 100.
That the outcome is the favourite: you must risk 110 to win 100. -110 is also the standard line for spreads and totals in the US: the extra 10 is the bookmaker margin, not an opinion about the game.
The percentage of times the bet would need to win just to break even: 100 divided by the decimal odds. 2.00 implies 50%; 1.50 implies 66.7%. It is the number that actually matters when deciding whether a price is worth taking.
Because the bookmaker builds its margin into the odds. If an even match were priced 2.00 and 2.00 (50% + 50%), the house would make nothing; instead it offers 1.91 and 1.91, implying 52.4% each — 104.7% in total. That extra 4.7% is the margin, and the higher it is, the worse for the punter.
