What this tool calculates
Fractional odds describe net profit relative to stake, so the fraction approximates decimal odds minus one.
Fractional value = decimal odds − 1. A continued-fraction approximation is reduced to numerator/denominator.
Results are informational. Confirm final grading, limits, deductions, and promotional terms with the operator.
Worked example
Decimal odds 2.50 convert exactly to 3/2 because the net-profit multiple is 1.50.
