Fixed odds mean that the odds agreed at the time of placing a bet do not change, regardless of how the market moves later.
Once the bet is placed, both potential payout and risk are locked in.
How it works
-
Odds are fixed at bet placement
-
Market movements after placing the bet do not affect your wager
-
Common across most sportsbook markets
Example
-
Bet placed at odds 2.20
-
Odds later drop to 1.90
-
Your bet still settles at 2.20
Key characteristics
-
Predictable payouts
-
Protects bettors from adverse line movement
-
Standard model used by most bookmakers
Important note
While fixed odds protect against drops, they also prevent you from benefiting if odds move in your favor after placing the bet.
