Spanish La Liga Futures and Ante Post markets explained

La Liga outright winner betting is by far the most popular La Liga futures betting market.  Future 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 La Liga season progresses and certain teams rise in the standings while others fall, the odds will tighten and pay less for those teams with a realistic opportunity to lift the trophy.

Examples of La Liga 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 $100. First, negative numbers express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of $100.  For example, near the end of the season, if a team like Barcelona has all but clinched up the championship, you might see odds of -8,000.  This means you would have to stake $8,000 in order to win $100 in profit.  However, earlier 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 $100 wager.  For example, when you see odds of +650 on a team like Atletico Madrid to win outright, you would need to stake $100 in order to receive a profit of $650, yielding a total return of $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 Sevilla is listed at 9.95 to win outright, a $100 bet would return a total of $995 including your stake, so the profit would be $895. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 2/1 on Real Madrid to win outright (said 2 to 1), one could see a profit of $200 (2 divided by 1, multiplied by $100) plus the stake amount for a total return of $300.
