How to read Championship promotion odds

Our championship promotion betting odds are presented in fractional terms. Each team is assigned a fraction – e.g. 7/10, or 5/1. This represents how much you’ll earn from a win compared to the stake you’ve put on your bet. The left-hand side of the fraction is your potential earnings if you were to place a bet to the value of the right-hand side. For example, a winning 7/10 bet would earn you £7 plus your £10 stake back. To make understanding your odds easier, use our betting calculator for a clear explanation of your potential winnings.
