Reading odds formats and calculating potential returns in PKR
pkrapp displays cricket odds in decimal format by default, which is the clearest format for calculating returns. The formula is simple: Potential Return = Stake × Decimal Odds. Your profit is the return minus your original stake.
Here is a practical PKR example: If Pakistan are priced at 1.80 to beat India in a T20 match and you place Rs 5,000, your potential return is Rs 9,000 (Rs 5,000 × 1.80) — a profit of Rs 4,000 if Pakistan win.
Odds below 2.00 indicate the market considers that outcome more likely than not. Odds above 2.00 indicate an underdog. In Test cricket, draw odds often sit between 3.00 and 5.00 depending on conditions and pitch reports.
| Scenario | Decimal Odds | Rs 2,000 Stake | Potential Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan win (favourite) | 1.65 | Rs 2,000 | Rs 3,300 |
| Pakistan win (slight fav.) | 1.90 | Rs 2,000 | Rs 3,800 |
| Draw (Test match) | 3.50 | Rs 2,000 | Rs 7,000 |
| Underdog win | 4.20 | Rs 2,000 | Rs 8,400 |
| Heavy underdog | 7.00 | Rs 2,000 | Rs 14,000 |
