All About League of Legends Betting Odds

Before you get into League of Legends betting, there are several esports betting terms that you should learn about. One of the most important of those terms is betting odds, or in our case, League of Legends betting odds.

Hey, sasa—you wanna master your LoL bets? Understanding League of Legends betting odds is key. Odds betting tells you two big things: how likely an outcome is and how much cash you’ll scoop if you win. In Kenya, football—especially the English Premier League—dominates the betting scene, but LoL esports is growing fast on top esports betting sites and apps.

Picture this: a grand final between T1 and Gen.G. You can bet on who wins, who gets first blood, or the total kills by Gen.G. Bookmakers, licensed by the BCLB, set these betting odds today based on form, past stats, and meta changes. Checking the latest odds and reading up on esports betting predictions gives you solid betting odds tips before you stake.

You’ve probably seen different formats—Fractional, Decimal, American. Learning each helps you compare odds for today’s matches and nail your betting tips and odds strategy.

Fractional Odds

Fractional odds look like fractions—for example, 5/3, read "five to three."

• Firstly, fractional odds of 5/3 tell you that you will get $5 (approximately KSh 500) in return if you bet $3 (approximately KSh 300) and win the bet, where $2 (approximately KSh 200) is your reward.
• If you stake $6 (approximately KSh 600), you’d win $10 (approximately KSh 1,000), pocketing $4 (approximately KSh 400). Because 5/3 pays less than twice your stake, it’s seen as more likely than, say, 3/1, which pays $3 for every $1 risked.

Decimal Odds

Decimal odds are super straightforward—just multiply your stake by the number shown. Odds of 1.67 (that’s 5/3 converted) or 3.0 (that’s 3/1) make it easy to do mental maths. For example, if you bet $100 (approximately KSh 10,000) on odds of 3.0, you’ll get $300 (approximately KSh 30,000) back, netting $200 (approximately KSh 20,000).

American Odds

American odds use plus and minus signs.

• Odds of -150 mean you must risk $150 (approximately KSh 15,000) to win $100 (approximately KSh 10,000).
• Odds of +150 mean you’ll win $150 (approximately KSh 15,000) for a $100 (approximately KSh 10,000) stake. Converting american odds to decimal is quick for comparing across different sites.

Want the best esports betting sites? Always compare odds across platforms. Top online esports bookmakers differ slightly—some run tight margins, others offer juicy returns. Use eSportRanker for trusted betting site reviews and filter out any platform that feels like "achana na mimi" (leave me alone) when it comes to fair odds. Finding the highest returns on your winning bets is what separates rookies from pros.

Live betting—also called live esports betting—lets you bet as the action unfolds. As the match swings, odds update so you can capitalise on shifting tides.

• You get more precise odds based on in-game events.
• You can tweak your strategy mid-game and lock in better lines.
• Sometimes you’ll spot insane value—like underdogs suddenly getting first blood, giving you killer betting odds and tips for live plays.
