UEFA Champions League Futures and Ante Post markets explained  

UEFA Champions League outright winner betting is by far the most popular Champions League futures betting market.  Futures markets, also called Ante Post markets, are those that involve a wager that is placed well in advance of the result and where the result is usually determined over the course of an entire tournament or season, rather than a single match.  In general, the highest paying odds for outright and futures betting markets will come before the tournament starts.  As the Champions League competition progresses and teams are eliminated, the odds will tighten and pay less for those teams that still have a chance to lift the trophy.

Examples of Champions League outright winner odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to remember, but both involve the figure of CHF 100. First, negative numbers express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of CHF 100.  This only happens when the odds are below even-money.  This will happen rarely given how many teams will be in contention to win.  You might see a negative figure should there be a heavy favorite very late in the competition.  For example, in the semi-final stage, you might see odds of -140.  This means you would have to stake CHF 140 in order to win CHF 100.  However, before the tournament, the outright winner outcome will still be relatively uncertain.  Thus the American odds will display positive figures because all the team odds will be above even-money.  When this is the case, the odds express how much potential profit would be returned on a CHF 100 wager.  For example, when you see odds of +450 on a team like Barcelona to win outright, you would need to stake CHF 100 in order to potentially receive a profit of CHF 450, yielding a total possible return of CHF 550.

With Decimal odds format, know that the odds express the full amount that would be returned on your successful wager including the stake amount.  For this, simply multiply the Decimal odds by the stake. For example, if Bayern Munich is listed at 3.95 to win outright, a CHF 100 bet would return a total of CHF 395 including your stake, so the profit would be CHF 295. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of potential profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of CHF 100 and odds of 3/1 on Manchester United to win outright (said 3 to 1), one could see a profit of CHF 300 (3 divided by 1, multiplied by CHF 100) plus the stake amount for a total return of CHF 400.
