Fortnite Odds Explained
Fortnite betting opportunities are few and far between, but it’s important that you understand how odds work for when you can bet on this esports title. Depending on the bookmaker you choose, the betting odds will be displayed in three ways: fractions (3/1), decimals (4.00) and American (+300). These odds all indicate the same information, it’s just a matter of converting them into the format that you’re more comfortable with.
In general, betting odds are pretty straightforward, but let’s take a look at an example to make things clear:
You want to place a bet on Team A to achieve the most kills in a Fortnite esports match, with odds of 5/1. This means you’d win £5 for every £1 you wager, if Team A were to achieve this victory. Simple, right?
