L'Hexagoal is the name of the current Ligue 1 trophy, which has been presented since the end of the 2006/07 season.  When looking for the betting odds on a particular Ligue 1 team to lift the trophy and win the league, one is actually looking for the odds on that team ‘to win outright’.  OddsJet compares Ligue 1 outright winner odds from several reputable Swiss betting sites that serve customers in Switzerland, all of which offer CHF accounts.  This Ligue 1 outright winner odds comparison allows OddsJet to display the best odds for every team to win the French Ligue 1 outright so Swiss bettors may maximize their potential returns.  For matches, OddsJet also provide a France Ligue 1 odds comparison.

French Ligue 1 Futures and Ante Post markets explained         

Ligue 1 outright winner betting is by far the most popular Ligue 1 futures betting market.  Futures markets, also called Ante Post markets, are those that involve a wager that is contingent on a longer term result 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 season starts.  As the Ligue 1 season progresses and certain teams rise in the standings while others fall, the odds will tighten and pay less for those teams in strong positions to lift the trophy.

Examples of Ligue 1 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.  For example, near the end of the season, if a team like PSG has all but clinched up the title, you might see odds of -7,500.  This means you would have to stake CHF 7,500 in order to win CHF 100 in profit.  However, earlier on in the season, when the outcome is still relatively uncertain, the American odds will display a positive figure because the odds are above even.  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 +650 on a team like AS Monaco to win outright, you would need to stake CHF 100 in order to receive a profit of CHF 650, yielding a total return of CHF 750.

With Decimal odds format, know that the odds express the full amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount.  For this, simply multiply the Decimal odds by the stake. For example, if Olympique Marseille is listed at 6.95 to win outright, a CHF 100 bet would return a total of CHF 695 including your stake, so the profit would be CHF 595. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of CHF 100 and odds of 10/1 on Lyon to win outright (said ten to 1), one could see a profit of CHF 1,000 (10 divided by 1, multiplied by CHF 100) plus the stake amount for a total return of CHF 1,100.
