For American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to remember, but both revolve around the figure of CHF 100. First, negative numbers express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of CHF 100.  When one sees a negative number such as -300, this means that one would need to stake CHF 300 in order to win a profit of CHF 100, for a total return of CHF 400.  When the odds are above even, American odds format display a positive figure which expresses how much one will win when CHF 100 is staked.  For example, match odds of +400 for a draw means that a stake of CHF 100 wins CHF 400 in profit for a total return of CHF 500. 

For Decimal odds format, the odds express the full amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount.  Simply multiply the odds by the stake. For example, if a team is listed to win at 1.61, a CHF 100 bet would return a total of CHF 161 including your stake, so the profit is CHF 61.  A draw with decimal odds of 3.45 would return CHF 345 on a bet of CHF 100. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  So for example, with a wager of CHF 100 and odds of 4/9 (said 4 to 9) on a club to win, one would see a profit of CHF 44.44 (100 X 4/9) plus the stake for a total return of CHF 144.44.
